Harnessing heat generated by a device itself, microscopic silicon structures could lead to more energy-efficient thermal sensing and signal processing.
Skip to Content MIT Alumni News: 77 Harnessing heat generated by a device itself, microscopic silicon structures could lead to more energy-efficient thermal sensing and signal processing. April 21, 2026 JOSE LUIS OLIVARES/MIT Heat generated by electronic devices is usually a problem, but a team led by Giuseppe Romano, a research scientist at MIT’s Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies, has found a way to use it for data processing that doesn’t rely on electricity. In this analog computing method, input data is encoded not as binary 1s and 0s but as a set of temperatures based on the…
