For decades, scientists have looked to light as a way to speed up computing. Photonic neural networks—systems that use light ...

In this latest all-optical neural network, the light-interaction problem is solved by using a “phase-change material” to create both the neurons and the synapses. This material switches between ...

AI researchers have long wondered if it’s possible for a different kind of network to deliver similarly reliable results in a more transparent way. An April 2024 study introduced an alternative neural ...

Jan 22, 2024: Artificial neural network hardware based on stacked neuron-synapse-neuron structural blocks (Nanowerk News) With the emergence of new industries such as artificial intelligence, the ...

Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology (CDB) in Japan have developed a way to obtain super-resolution 3-D images of delicate structures deep in the brain. Published in Cell Reports, ...

Neural networks built with learning algorithms are now capable of performing tasks which synthetic systems previously could not do. For instance, intelligent systems can now compose music , play ...

Technology ‘Artificial synapse’ could make neural networks work more like brains. Networks of nanoscale resistors that work in a similar way to nerve cells in the body could offer advantages ...
