Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

This is Scientific Americans' 60-second Science. I'm Karen Hopkins.

They say you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. But what have you had access to

a remote-controlled carnivorous plant? Because researchers have engineered a bio-inspired system,

an artificial neuron, if you will,

that can trigger the snap of a Venus fly trap.

Hi, my name is Simone Fabiano, an associate professor at Lynch of University in Sweden.

Fabiano designed the trap springing device using nerve cells as a kind of bio-based blueprint.

The way our biological neurons work is that they integrate information from different input over time,

perform computation, and communicate the results to other neurons by means of voltage pulses.

Now, standard silicone-based systems can also deliver electrical pulses,

but if you want to couple them with something living, to produce bionic prosthetics or

engineer any kind of brain-machine interface, well, they suffer from several limitations.

Such as rigidity, poor biocompidability, complex circuit structures,

and operation mechanisms that are fundamentally

different from those of biological systems.

To smooth biological integration, Fabiano built his system from polymers that conduct both electrons,
