Stretchy, bio-inspired synaptic transistor can enhance, weaken device memories
Robotics and wearable devices might soon get a little smarter with the addition of a stretchy, wearable synaptic transistor. The device works like neurons in the brain to send signals to some cells and inhibit others in order to enhance and weaken the devices’ memories.
Physical reservoir computing (PRC) utilizing synaptic devices shows significant promise for edge AI. Researchers from the Tokyo University of Science have introduced a novel self-powered dye-sensitized solar cell-based device that mimics human synaptic behavior for efficient edge AI processing, inspired by the eye's afterimage phenomenon. The device has light intensity-controllable…
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…
