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.

Chip

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.

They're really nothing but a few pieces of carbon, crystallized under high pressure at great heat.

And so silicon, which we make right now it's part of our carcinogenic problem in the manufacture of our chips this is a bio mineralization process that's now being mimicked.

And then it also extracts movement.

MIT just has a new radio chip that uses far less power than our chips.

This company manufactures computer chips.

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

The retina chip that we designed sits behind this lens here.

The retina chip extracts four different kinds of information.

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

Bismuth silicate (BSO), Bismuth germanite (BGO) and their solid solutions have created a great deal of interest in the forms of bulk crystals and epitaxial films for opto and acousto electronic applications in integrated devices.

In another hybrid discipline, molecular computing, organic or artificial enzymes are programmed to conduct complex calculations faster than silicon chips. The field could provide an avenue, alongside 3D silicon chips, for maintaining or even accelerating the pace of Moore s Law, which states that the number of transistors on the integrated circuits used by computers doubles every two years.

Well, here's a list of them. They're hard to tell, but there's one billion PC chips on the Internet, if you count all the chips in all the computers on the Internet.

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.

From the miller s stone to the microchip, technologies have been embedded in social history.

I gave this little slide show at a place called the Silicon Valley and I did all right.

So without that curiosity driven understanding of the structure of atoms, which led to this rather esoteric theory, quantum mechanics, then we wouldn't have transistors, we wouldn't have silicon chips, we wouldn't have pretty much the basis of our modern economy.

So you begin to think of a shoe as a chip with heels, and a car as a chip with wheels, because basically most of the cost of manufacturing cars is the embedded intelligence and electronics in it, and not the materials.

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

What you notice here is that these snapshots taken from the output of the retina chip are very sparse, right?

It is made out of silicon.
