This is a quick review of the biggest surprises of this edition of MWC, where the latest innovations in the connectivity sector have been seen once again.

A biological computer

The most shocking novelty of MWC was the presentation of the first commercial biological computer, the "CL1". Developed by the Australian company Cortical Labs, this innovative device uses a culture of real neurons, kept in a nutrient solution, growing on a silicon chip. This chip facilitates communication with the neurons through electrical impulses, both sending and receiving. See more

The "Realme 14 Pro+" features a phone back cover that uses thermochromic pigments that react to temperature, changing from cream to a deeper blue when exposed to the cold (below 16 degrees Celsius). See more
