BrainChip, the neural net specialist, has shipped its first BrainChip Accelerator card to a major European automobile manufacturer. It is the first commercial implementation of a hardware-accelerated spiking neural network (SNN) system. The BrainChip Accelerator is an example of neuromorphic computing, a branch of artificial intelligence that simulates neuron functions. BrainChip Accelerator will be evaluated …

Photonics can be added to silicon CMOS, creating infra-red LEDs and photo-diodes using layers of molybdenum telluride, according to MIT. As a back-end process over CMOS, the team fabricated a p-n junction with an infra-red bandgap from a bi-layer of the two-dimensional dichalcogenide MoTe2. “Researchers have been trying to find materials that are compatible with silicon, …

Advances in ink jet printing have allowed photonically active structures to be printed, according to researchers at the University of Cambridge and the Hitachi Cambridge Laboratory. “Most inkjet printers push the ink through the nozzle by heating or applying pressure, producing ink droplets about the size of the diameter of a human hair,” said Dr Vincenzo …
