UMass Amherst engineers have built an artificial neuron powered by bacterial protein nanowires that functions like a real one, but at extremely low voltage. This allows for seamless communication with biological cells and drastically improved energy efficiency. The discovery could lead to bio-inspired computers and wearable electronics that no longer need power-hungry amplifiers.

Whatever. As long as I can run LineageOS or Debian on it.
noooo deeebiiiian, juuusst caaaandy cruuuush
SWEET!
