ɬ﷬ researchers create a device that behaves like a single neuron

News - jeu, 06/25/2026 - 09:17

ɬ﷬ researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes information. The neuron-like behaviour emerges from the materials themselves, reducing the energy demand associated with similar devices that rely on circuits or software.

Instead of capturing data first and processing it elsewhere, the device senses and interprets light in the same place, similarly to how the eye processes visual information.
