Making Glass Think
All computing technologies rely on the electrical response of the materials on which they are based. In most cases, these are semiconductors, and most usually, silicon. However, our silicon-based systems are facing a crisis in power consumption and we need to look for alternatives.
In this seminar, Tony Kenyon, Vice Dean (research) of the UCL Faculty of Engineering Sciences, will discuss how a material more commonly thought of as an inert electrical insulator, silicon dioxide, can be the basis for new low power brain-inspired - neuromorphic - computing technologies.
