Sungkyunkwan University researchers develop technology for brain

Researchers at Sungkyunkwan University have developed a new semiconductor synapse that mimics human brain learning by using light to regulate memory. This technology allows AI chips to selectively retain or discard information, potentially increasing energy efficiency.
Why it matters
This advancement could lead to more energy-efficient AI hardware and 'see-and-remember' artificial vision systems.
