Researchers at Princeton have announced the first photonic neural network. We recently talked about how artificial neurons work in conventional hardware and software. The artificial neurons look ...

Photonic neurons only lighten when activated by corresponding signals, in which the active connections are relatively sparse and the information is parallelly transmitted in spectrum. Credit ...

Newly published research in the journal Glia has identified crucial links between dietary choices and the progression of ...

The wiring diagram, or ‘connectome’, includes nearly 140,000 neurons and captures more than 54.5 million synapses, which are the connections between nerve cells. “This is a huge deal ...

Quantum technology is an emerging field, but it is opening up groundbreaking opportunities in the healthcare sector. Quantum-enabled photonic technology uses photons (light particles) to develop ...

Mirror neurons received significant media attention in the 2000s and were painted by some scientists as the key to many of our advanced social abilities. However, many of the more significant ...

These hybrid devices aim to improve the performance of photonic artificial neurons and activation functions by leveraging the ...

Scientists have mapped out how 140,000 neurons are wired in the brain of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. By Carl Zimmer A fruit fly’s brain is smaller than a poppy seed, but it packs ...

Intriguingly, some new neurons are still produced in the adult brain by a population of cells called neural stem cells. As brains age, however, they become less and less adept at making these new ...

Rowe Price CEO eyes future IPO, sees demand from cloud and AI companies Oct 16 - Lightmatter, a Mountain View, California-headquartered startup building photonic tech in datacenter networking ...

The study is a valuable addition to the field, showing how particulate matter may be acting via nociceptor neurons towards neutrophilic asthma exacerbations. The solid evidence for the role of a ...
