    Scientists have developed a method to turn cheap and widely available building bricks into "smart bricks" that can store energy like a battery (1). Although still in the proof-of-concept stage, the scientists claim walls made of these bricks could store a substantial amount of energy and be recharged hundreds of thousands of times within an hour (2). Researchers have also found a way to attach artificial neurons onto silicon chips, mimicking real neurons' electrical properties in minute detail (3). This work provides a robust method to reproduce neurons and could enable low-power medical implants if used.
