Parsing Science - Hearing Better than a Barn Owl

Can what engineers learn from how barn owls pinpoint the location of a the faintest sounds to apply their development of nanotechnologies capable of doing even better? In episode 61, we’re joined by Saptarshi Das, a nano-engineer from Penn State University, who talks with us about his article “A biomimetic 2D transistor for audiomorphic computing,” co-authored with Sarbashis Das and Akhil Dodda, and published on August 1, 2019 in the open-access journal Nature Communications.
