Artificial optical synapse |
A Polish scientific team is mimicking the operations of nerve cells using photons avalanche nanomaterials. This new method of processing optical data without using numbers opens up prospects for self-powered optical devices. Among other things, it has been applied to scanning images and measuring the coincidence of light pulses.
