Brain-like network uses disorder to detect orderA disordered network that is capable of detecting ordered patterns: it sounds contradictory, but it comes close to the way our brain works. Researchers of the University of Twente developed a brain-inspired network like this. A big step forward is that is based on silicon technology and can be operated at room temperature. It makes use of material properties that electronic designers usually like to avoid. Thanks to ‘hopping conduction’, the system evolves to a solution without making use of predesigned elements. The researchers publish their work in Nature of January 15, 2020.Read more
UT invention in Laser Focus World's top 20It’s typically the time of the year for ‘technology watchers’ to look back and make rankings of the most promising technology innovations of the past year. ‘Laser Focus World’ magazine did this as well, resulting in a UT invention that is ending high in their optics/photonics top 20. It is the on-chip ‘optocoupler’, connecting two worlds on one and the same chip. In this way, for example, very sensitive electronics can be connected to high-power electronics. Or photonics can be combined with electronics. The invention, by Ray Hueting and Anne-Johan Annema, was in the news beginning of this year.Read more
