There's diatoms made out of SIO2, and they're magnetotactic bacteria that make small, single domain magnets used for navigation.

Polymeric light emitting diodes (LEDs) have already achieved performance figures comparable to inorganic LEDs.

We can use LEDs.

These blocks represent LEDs.

Most importantly for this, they're faster.

Silicon

And this speed, combined with today's high performance micro controllers, allows us to actually simulate, in this piece, over 17,000 LEDs using just 64.

Here's an interesting one for the IT world bio silicon. This is a diatom, which is made of silicates.

LEDs are smaller, they're cheaper, they're longer lasting, they're more efficient.

Not silicon.

Silicon Valley Everywhere

It is made out of silicon.

The way that silicon behaves, the fact that you can build transistors, is a purely quantum phenomenon.

It achieves this by rotating LEDs about two axes.

This is a silicon wafer, and essentially that's just a whole bunch of layers of two dimensional stuff, sort of layered up.

They're also silicon.

Make Your Own Silicon Valley

corrosive, flammable, n.o.s.

These are diatoms, single celled phytoplankton with skeletons of silicon ...

And the chip I'm going to show you a video that the silicon retina put out of its output when it was looking at Kareem Zaghloul, who's the student who designed this chip.

And when it starts flashing, it's just going to be one of the LEDs that's flashing very fast.

First of all, it's going to be built up, we're going to build the stuff out of silicon.

Silicon Valley or Demand Mountain?

Silicon Valley did. And that's why they say that Silicon Valley has been powered by ICs.

It's just 16 blue LEDs that we can program to do different types of displays.

These LED's are wired to sensors that detect the presence of odorous molecules in the air.

And then it also extracts movement.

126. Preliminary activities on three research and development projects were initiated during the year. The projects will cover universal fuzzy controller systems based on microprocessors, a silicon PIN diode based detector for X ray mammography and a DaAS gigabyte switch for teraflop parallel machines.

So now the neurons are represented by little nodes or circuits on the chip, and the connections among the neurons are represented, actually modeled by transistors.

I've got a little video to show you, but keep in mind that this is with no electronic control, and this is also with only four LEDs.

So, what we call this is a silicon cottage industry.

And also these very life like, intrinsically painted silicone legs.

And this is just a silicon piece of skin.

They turned to a cutting edge program called agile development that was just spreading from manufacturers in Japan to startups in Silicon Valley.

But right now, you pretty much have to take silicon, put it in an oven at 1600 degrees Fahrenheit for 17 hours, to make the cells.

We used a red, very high temperature silicon to do that.

The retina chip extracts four different kinds of information.
