Last year, Monash University scientists created the "DishBrain" – a semi-biological computer chip with some 800,000 human and mouse brain cells lab-grown into its electrodes. Demonstrating something like sentience, it learned to play Pong within five minutes.

Over the past 150 years, researchers have seen the average human body temperature drop by more than half a degree Fahrenheit (-0.3 °C). In a new study from the University of Michigan, scientists looking at hospitalized sepsis patients found certain species of gut bacteria seemed to play a role in regulating body temperature, and it's hypothesized these microbial alterations could be driving these long-term body temperature variations.
