Synthetic neuromorphic computing in living cells.

Computational properties of neuronal networks have been applied to computing systems using simplified models comprising repeated connected nodes, e.g., perceptrons, with decision-making capabilities and flexible weighted links.

Disinfectants role in the prevention of spreading the COVID-19 and other infectious diseases: The need for functional polymers!

The spreading of coronavirus through droplets and aerosols of an infected person is a well-known mechanism. The main protection methods from this virus are using disinfectants/sanitizers, face masks, keeping social distance, and vaccination. With the rapid mutations of the virus accompanied by its features and contagions changing, new advanced functional materials development is highly needed.

Synthetic neural-like computing in microbial consortia for pattern recognition.

Complex biological systems in nature comprise cells that act collectively to solve sophisticated tasks. Synthetic biological systems, in contrast, are designed for specific tasks, following computational principles including logic gates and analog design. Yet such approaches cannot be easily adapted for multiple tasks in biological contexts.
