UMass Amherst engineers created an artificial neuron using bacterial nanowires.
It operates at ultra-low voltage, just like a biological neuron.
This enables direct, efficient communication with living cells.
It could lead to bio-inspired computers and wearable tech.
Such devices might ditch bulky batteries.
Future uses may include sweat-powered sensors or gadgets that pull energy from the air.
