Our super-nerdy article of the day comes from CNN. Scientists have developed an electronic circuit that mimics the wiring of the human brain in some ways. Its pretty freaky stuff going on here:

"This is a demonstration of what's possible when circuits compute in biological ways," [snip] "If you take a Pentium chip and cut a single wire, then it would probably stop functioning," said Richard Hahnloser, another MIT researcher. "If you took our circuit, you could cut a wire and it would still work the same."
