A microchip for your pet can mean the difference between lost and found. Although tags and collars are important, they can tear or slip off. With microchipping, a veterinarian injects a tiny computer chip—about the size of a grain of rice—just under your pet’s skin, between the shoulder blades. The microchip number is entered into an international database, which can be read by a microchip scanner if your pet is lost and picked up by a veterinary hospital or humane society. 1, record 4, English, - microchipping

A small but innovative community of engineers is making significant progress in copying neuronal organization and function. Researchers speak of having "morphed" the structure of neural connections into silicon circuits, creating neuromorphic microchips. If successful, this work could lead to implantable silicon retinas for the blind and sound processors for the deaf that last for 30 years on a single nine-volt battery or to low-cost, highly effective visual, audio or olfactory recognition chips for robots and other smart machines. 2, record 6, English, - neuromorphic%20microchip

Quelques ingénieurs font des progrès notables dans l'imitation de l'organisation et du fonctionnement des neurones. Ils disent avoir reproduit la structure des connexions neurales dans des circuits de silicium, créant des micropuces dites neuromorphiques. Si les premiers résultats se confirment, on pourrait disposer de rétines de silicium implantables à des aveugles et de dispositifs de traitement des sons pour les sourds, susceptibles de fonctionner pendant 30 ans, avec une simple pile de neuf volts, ou encore de puces de reconnaissance visuelle, auditive ou olfactive très efficaces et peu coûteuses pour les robots et autres machines «intelligentes». 1, record 6, French, - micropuce%20neuromorphique
