Scientists Invent a Hot-Emitter Transistor for Future High Performance, Low-Power, Multifunctional Devices

Posted by in categories: computing, futurism

Transistors, the building blocks of integrated circuits, face growing challenges as their size decreases. Developing transistors that use novel operating principles has become crucial to enhancing circuit performance.

Hot carrier transistors, which utilize the excess kinetic energy of carriers, have the potential to improve the speed and functionality of transistors. However, their performance has been limited by how hot carriers have traditionally been generated.

A team of researchers led by Prof. Liu Chi, Prof. Sun Dongming, and Prof. CHeng Huiming from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has proposed a novel hot carrier generation mechanism called stimulated emission of heated carriers (SEHC).

Energy-saving computing with magnetic whirls

Posted by in categories: physics, robotics/AI

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have managed to enhance the framework of Brownian reservoir computing by recording and transferring hand gestures to the system which then used skyrmions to detect these individual gestures.

“We were impressed to see that our hardware approach and concept worked so well – and even better than energy-intensive software solutions that employ neural networks,” said Grischa Beneke, a member of Professor Mathias Kläui’s research group at the JGU Institute of Physics.

In collaboration with other experimental and theoretical physicists, Beneke was able to demonstrate that simple hand gestures can be recognized by means of Brownian reservoir computing with a relatively high degree of precision.

Spike Mutations that Help SARS-CoV-2 Infect the Brain Discovered

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

Scientists have discovered a mutation in SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, that plays a key role in its ability to infect the central nervous system. The findings may help scientists understand its neurological symptoms and the mystery of “long COVID,” and they could one day even lead to specific treatments to protect and clear the virus from the brain.

The new collaborative study between scientists at Northwestern University and the University of Illinois-Chicago uncovered a series of mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (the outer part of the virus that helps it penetrate cells) that enhanced the virus’s ability to infect the brains of mice.

“Looking at the genomes of viruses found in the brain compared to the lung, we found that viruses with a specific deletion in spike were much better at infecting the brains of these animals,” said co-corresponding author Judd Hultquist, assistant professor of medicine (infectious diseases) and microbiology-immunology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. “This was completely unexpected, but very exciting.”

The Father of Neural Nets Warren McCulloch Talks Mind, Brain, Thinking & Feeling Machines

Posted by in categories: media & arts, neuroscience

Ha! I like his style. Never would have imagined McCulloch (yes as in the McCulloch-Pitts neuron or perceptron) to be like this. Quite the role model.

He’s definitely prophetic here.
