Singapore's National University of Singapore has...

Editor's note: ...launched a biological data centre prototype with partners Cortical Labs and DayOne, featuring 20 CL1 units that use lab grown human neurons derived from stem cells on electrode fitted silicon chips to process information. The system at the NUS Life Sciences Institute went live this past July 2026 and requires regular nutrient feeding to keep the cells viable for up to six months while consuming far less power than conventional AI servers, with "potential uses in drug discovery and energy efficient computing." Lab-grown human neurons sit on silicon chips and process information through electrical signals, while the system still needs external electricity for life support and the hardware. The cells are fed nutrients to stay alive and perform computation; they do not generate or store energy like a battery.
