China's new "Darwin Monkey" AI system, a neuromorphic computer modeled on a monkey's brain, is a breakthrough in brain-inspired computing.
Developed by researchers at Zhejiang University, the system contains 2 billion neurons and over 100 billion synapses, mirroring the scale of a macaque brain. This system is being used for both advanced brain research and to address the unsustainable power consumption of conventional AI.

So far I have a queue of about 5 or 6 novel ideas that need to be tried in practice to see if they actually work, but could be very interesting little low cost DIY friendly devices that could replicate processes that are generally very costly.
Also I've eliminated probably 50 bad ideas already because GPT pointed out likely problems with them that I had not thought of...

OpenFlexure is an open source laboratory-grade microscope used to diagnose malaria and cancer. In this interview Julian Stirling, one of the core developers, tells us how the project evolved from its academic roots to a diverse community of people who use it, build it, sell it, teach it & develop it.
OpenFlexure is manufactured in many places to build local capacity. The next step is medical device certification, a slow but worthwhile process.
