| == Neuromorphic computing ==
| |
| '''[[w:Neuromorphic engineering]]''' is also known as '''neuromorphic computing''' is a concept developed by [[w:Carver Mead]], in the late 1980s, describing the use of [[w:very-large-scale integration]] (VLSI) systems containing electronic [[w:analog circuit]]s to mimic neuro-biological architectures present in the nervous system. In recent times, the term ''neuromorphic'' has been used to describe analog, digital, mixed-mode analog/digital VLSI, and software systems that implement models of [[w:neural system]]s (for [[w:perception]], [[w:motor control]], or [[w:multisensory integration]]).

| | {{Q|A '''[[w:supercapacitor|supercapacitor]]''' is a high-capacity [[w:capacitor|capacitor]] with a capacitance value much higher than other capacitors, but with lower voltage limits, that bridges the gap between [[w:electrolytic capacitor|electrolytic capacitor]]s and [[w:Rechargeable battery|rechargeable batteries]]. It typically stores 10 to 100 times more [[w:specific energy|energy per unit volume or mass]] than electrolytic capacitors, can accept and deliver charge much faster than batteries, and tolerates many more [[w:charge and discharge cycle|charge and discharge cycle]]s than [[w:Rechargeable battery|rechargeable batteries]].|Wikipedia|definition of a supercapacitator}} |
