Artificial Neurons Communicating Through Light: A Major Advance for Hardware-Based Artificial Intelligence

Current artificial intelligence performance relies heavily on energy-intensive computing architectures that are difficult to miniaturize. A team of researchers is now proposing a radically new approach: memristic artificial neurons capable of communicating with each other through light, paving the way for ultra-compact and highly efficient three-dimensional neural networks. In a recently published article in Nature […]
