SYNOPTIC TRANSISTOR
It is a new kind of artificial intelligence material.
The scientist at the Harvard school of engineering, taking inspiration from the human brain, created new synaptic transistor.
The Synaptic Transistor itself optimizes its properties for the function it has carried out in past.
Function of Brain:
Each time a neuron initiates an action& another neuron react, the synapses between them increases the strength of connection which memorizes the action between the neurons.
Likewise synaptic transistor consist of nickelate semiconductor sandwiched between two platinum electrode adjacent to this is small pocket of ionic liquid.
An external circuit multiplexer converts the time delay to magnitude of voltage which applied to ionic liquid, creating electric field drives to nickelate.
Entire device just a few hundred microns long is embedded in a silicon chip.

Advantage over conventional transistor:
- Not restricted to zeros and ones
- Extremely energy efficient
