International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) researchers have developed a neuromorphic photonic semiconductor neuron ...

The device, inspired by the way biological neurons process information, has the ability to detect light and convert it into ...

During the first half of the 20th century radio technology was booming, albeit restricted by the vacuum tube technology of the time which made radios cumbersome in size and power needs. The ...

Researchers developed a nanoscale quantum resonant tunnelling diode that mimics a sensory neuron, detecting light, processing ...

The RCA tunnel diode inverter circuit The resulting circuit produces a 15kHz oscillation with 4.5v peaks, and has just enough power to light an LED. While it might seem pointless to barely light ...

Using a resonant tunneling diode, which is a semiconductor device, he succeeded in emitting a 1.98 THz wave. There is no satisfactory light source near the frequency of 1 THz, which creating a valley ...
