News Oct 14, 2026 Penn State researchers create soft networks of water droplets for brain-inspired computing A team at Penn State has developed "neuromorphic tissue" - soft networks of water-based droplets connected by cell-like membranes that can process information using ions rather than electrons. The approach mimics how the brain processes signals and could lead to low-energy computing for wet environments and biological interfaces. Giulio Prisco 2 min read
