Tinkering with the 'clockwork' mechanisms of life
6 days ago · Dec 19, 2024: Tinkering with the 'clockwork' mechanisms of life (Nanowerk News) Living organisms monitor time – and react to it – in many different ways, from detecting light and sound in microseconds to responding physiologically in pre-programmed ways, via their daily sleep cycle, monthly menstrual cycle, or to changes in the seasons.Such ability to react at different timescales is made ...
Laser-based artificial neuron mimics nerve cell functions at …
6 days ago · Dec 20, 2024: Laser-based artificial neuron mimics nerve cell functions at lightning speed (Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron.With a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud — a billion times faster than its biological counterparts — the new laser graded ...
Engineers grow 'high-rise' 3D chips
Dec 19, 2024: Engineers grow 'high-rise' 3D chips (Nanowerk News) The electronics industry is approaching a limit to the number of transistors that can be packed onto the surface of a computer chip.So, chip manufacturers are looking to build up rather than out. Instead of squeezing ever-smaller transistors onto a single surface, the industry …
