Device regulates 'digital memory'

Researchers at Oregon State University in the United States have drawn inspiration from the workings of the human brain to develop a new light-sensitive device that integrates sensing, signal processing, and memory into a single electronic component.

This innovative technology is distinguished by its unique ability to control how strong digital memories are or how quickly they fade — much like the chemical signals in our brains that regulate memory strength. The mechanism surpasses current artificial intelligence devices in this capability.
