"combines dynamic random-access memory with ultrathin semiconductor monolayer molybdenum disulfide-based circuits creating integrate-and-fire neuron... DRAM stores electrical charges in capacitors, electrical charge amounts can be modulated to mimic variations in electrical charge across biological neurons' membrane determining whether inverter triggers electrical bursts... resembling those observed in biological neurons when they fire... also emulates photopic/ scotopic adaptation of human vision... edge computing"
