• ITMO Researchers Discover Crystals That Imitate Brain Cell Activity

  Scientists from ITMO University have discovered that when subjected to laser pulses, hybrid crystals behave like neurons in the brain: their reaction to light is analogous to that of neurons to triggers. Such crystals can serve as a basis for devices that work as biological neural networks – thus making it possible to train artificial neural networks more quickly and efficiently. The suggested crystals are made from harmless domestically made materials and are easy to manufacture. The results of the study were described in Communication Materials (part of the Nature journal family).
