Australian startup Cortical Labs has launched the CL1, the first code-deployable biological computer, which uses human brain cells on a silicon chip to process information. Designed for neuroscience and biotech research, the CL1 enables real-time experimentation with live neurons, offering potential applications in drug discovery and neurocomputation. Each unit is priced at $35,000, with a cloud-based service available for remote access to the technology.
