Chalcogenide Fibers Mimic Brain Functions
SOUTHAMPTON, England, March 10, 2015 — Chalcogenide microfibers could be used to replicate the workings of the human brain, enabling optical computers capable of learning and evolving. A variety of broadband photoinduced effects allow metal-sulfide fibers to be switched on and off. This optical switching can be exploited for a variety of next-generation computing applications capable of processing vast amounts of data in a much more energy-efficient manner, according to researchers at the University of Southampton and Nanyang
