Researchers at the Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have achieved a significant breakthrough with the successful development of ultraviolet photoelectric synaptic devices and photoelectric synaptic transistors. This innovation paves the way for advancements in artificial vision and neuromorphic computing. The ultraviolet photoelectric synaptic devices, which emulate biological visual synapses, boast non-volatile storage capabilities. On the other hand, the photoelectric synaptic transistors leverage gas adsorption technology to achieve broadband, high photoelectric conversion, mimicking retinal cells and thereby enhancing the precision and efficiency of information processing. This groundbreaking work is anticipated to spark innovation in computer vision technology.
