Engineers develop high-performance and high-reliability artificial synaptic semiconductor device
Neuromorphic computing system technology mimicking the human brain must overcome the limitation of excessive power consumption, which is characteristic of the existing von Neumann computing method. A high-performance, analog artificial synapse device capable of expressing synapse connection strength is required to implement a semiconductor device that uses a brain information transmission method. This method uses signals transmitted between neurons when a neuron generates a spike signal.
Modern artificial intelligence systems rely on moving large amounts of data between memory and processors, a design that limits speed and increases energy use. The human brain works differently: it combines memory and computation within synapses, allowing fast, efficient learning and perception. Replicating this approach in hardware is a central…
Despite advances in machine vision, processing visual data requires substantial computing resources and energy, limiting deployment in edge devices. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a self-powered artificial synapse that distinguishes colors with high resolution across the visible spectrum, approaching human eye capabilities. The device, which integrates dye-sensitized solar cells,…
The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) poses challenges to today's computer technology. Conventional silicon processors are reaching their limits: they consume large amounts of energy, the storage and processing units are not interconnected and data transmission slows down complex applications.
