Inorganic nanoscale device behaves like a single neuron, opening doors for AI and retinal

McGill University researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes information. The neuron-like behavior emerges from the materials themselves, reducing the energy demand associated with similar devices that rely on circuits or s
