The Little Shop of Horrors andTerminator meet.

A team of scientists successfully took control of a Venus Flytrap by implanting a tiny chip in it.

The plants were able to eat its prey by mimicking the brain's methods of processing and transferring information.

The human brain is one of the most advanced computers ever made, according to the senior author of a new study.

He argued that man-made supercomputers are bulky and consume a lot of energy.

Mimicking Biology

Artificial neurons mimic biological ones by spiking the concentration of ion in an organic transistor.

They say that the approach comes with a number of advantages.

The researchers fired electrical currents into the cells of Venus Flytraps to cause the plants to snap shut.

Outside of flesh-eating plants, such tech could be used for a lot of other things.

Neurosciences are the building blocks of the brain, and being able to mimic the functioning of biological neurons with electronic devices could enable the development.

It is a small step in the direction of fully replicating our brain, but I believe we are on the right track to demonstrate printed, small-scale artificial neuralgia.

Venus flytraps are doing a dance.

Human brain cells are taught to play in a dish.
