The discovery overturns more than a century of physics orthodoxy by identifying a new form of energy that can be extracted from ambient heat using graphene. Obtaining useful work from random fluctuations in a system at thermal equilibrium has long been considered impossible. In fact, eminent Amer

This pioneering work on neuromorphic electronic circuits inspired researchers in Germany and Switzerland to explore the possibility of reproducing the physics of real neural circuits by using the physics of silicon.
