TLDR: Thermal noise => graphene as a low-pass filter => rectifier diodes => heat-to-electricity converter. Still looks like a perpetual motion machine. 10 mW is A LOT o_O

Oh wow, a network that enhances photorealism of rendered images — we might finally see indie games that need realistic visuals, not just a heavily-stylized ones!
Also grass, hair, fur and other stuff still notoriously difficult to render conventionally

Not to sound arrogant but… reminds me of that famous paper where medical researcher rediscovers integration.

I mean, isn’t encoding data via phase difference about the only way you can transmit both continuous variables and events that is resistant both to “dc offset” and fading?

I always assumed biological neurons *have* to work this way…
