BIO-COMPUTERS (S&T)

BIO-COMPUTERS (New term in Science & Technology)

  • Scientists at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) recently outlined a plan for a potentially revolutionary new area of research called "organoid intelligence", which aims to create “biocomputers". 
  • Brain cultures grown in the lab are coupled to real-world sensors and input/output devices.



The premise and the utility:

  • Brain research is still at infancy 
  • In a quest to develop systems that are more relevant to humans, scientists are building 3D cultures of brain tissue in the lab, called brain organoids.
  • The JHU researchers have announced plans to couple the organoids with machine learning by growing the organoids inside flexible structures affixed with multiple electrodes.

Larger Purpose:

   Will help us understand-
  • The stimuli patterns of brain 
  • Response patterns of neurons and human behaviour 
  • Neurodegenerative and cognitive disorders  
  • Development of stem cell research.

                                        W eb 3 is not Web 3.0 The internet has been evolving at a rapid pace, and the emergence of terms like "Web 3" and "Web 3.0" has sparked curiosity and debate. While these terms are often used interchangeably, some proponents argue that there is a nuanced difference between the two. In this blog post, we delve into the realms of Web 3 and Web 3.0, shedding light on their unique aspects and exploring the future they envision for the internet.   Web 3.0: A Semantic and Intelligent Web: Web 3.0, also known as the Semantic Web or the Intelligent Web, encapsulates a vision of the internet that is more intelligent, interconnected, and meaningful. At its core, Web 3.0 aims to enhance the web experience by enabling machines to understand and interpret web content, thereby providing more efficient and personalized information retrieval.   T...

  About Traditional Knowledge (TK) • TK is knowledge, know-how, skills and practices that are developed, sustained and passed on from generation to generation within a community, often forming part of its cultural or spiritual identity. o Until now, access to complete TKDL database is restricted to 14 Patent Offices worldwide for purposes of search and examination. About TKDL • TKDL, first of its kind globally, is a database of Indian traditional knowledge established in 2001, by Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and Ministry of AYUSH. • It contains information related to Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, Sowa Rigpa, and Yoga in five international languages (English, German, French, Japanese and Spanish). • It seeks to prevent misappropriation of country's traditional medicinal knowledge through patenting worldwide. o TKDL is an effective deterrent against bio-piracy. • Significance o Inculcate thought and knowledge leadership through Bharatiya Gnana Parampara, under New ...
