UMass Amherst engineers created an artificial neuron.
It uses bacterial protein nanowires and runs at ultra-low voltage.
This enables direct communication with biological cells.
It's far more energy-efficient than current tech.
Such neurons could lead to bio-inspired computers.
Wearable electronics might ditch bulky amplifiers.
Future devices could be powered by sweat.
Or even harvest electricity from the air.
