An organic transistor paves the way for new generations of neuro-inspired computers
For the first time, researchers have developed a transistor that can mimic the main functionalities of a synapse. This organic transistor, based on gold nanoparticles and known as a NOMFET (Nanoparticle Organix Memory Field-Effect Transistor), has opened the way to new generations of neuro-inspired computers, capable of responding in a manner similar to the nervous system.
So, what does this all mean? Well, neuro-inspired computers produced using this technology are capable of functions comparable to those of the human brain. Intense, huh?
