NEW SCIENTIST | Australia announced it will invest nearly A$1 billion into the development of quantum computers, staking a claim in a race currently dominated by the US and China.
Tessara Therapeutics, Chromos Labs, and the University of Melbourne have already successfully demonstrated the feasibility of integrating diamond micropillar arrays with Tessara’s RealBrain® micro-tissues, achieving world-first high-aspect-ratio pillar fabrication and validating their ability to detect millivolt-scale electrical signals relevant to neural activity.
