The brain of any electronic device is the circuitry that operated the machine. Without the circuitry, the device is not even worth the cost of the plastic that it is made of. Any electronics device requires some kind of battery or it is nothing more than a paperweight. Recently, some new technology was created by scientists from the “University of Pennsylvania” that will no longer require a device to use a battery as the power can come from light-powered circuitry.

It is technology that can lead to incredible independence down the road. Imagine cell phones or laptops that never run out of power. To think that something that can literally fit on the edge of a pair of tweezers can actually create enough energy to run some of these devices is pretty amazing.
Another significant possibility is the actual creation of a simulated human brain. While everyone loves the Terminator movies, it is unlikely that anyone thinks that we would ever see something like that during our lifetime. This technology actually makes that a very real possibility.
In essence, the light source would serve as the electrons that normally power our brains. Data that is registered would literally be able to be processed at the speed of light to simulate the exact same functions as the human brain. The scientific and technology communities are sitting there with their mouths wide open in anticipation of what the future holds because of this tiny little light-powered circuit.
While the light-powered circuit still has a way to go before it can hold and generate the amount of power that would be needed to power an electrical device, let alone a simulated human brain, the hardest part has already been done. Now they have to refine their discovery and figure out how to get more power out of it so that it can realize its full potential.

Because of the sheer volume of discoveries that are announced on an almost daily basis, it is understandable how something can slip by and be perceived as no big deal. Make no mistake about it, a light-powered circuit is one of those discoveries that is a little more significant than a cell phone that has a solar panel on the back of it. This is a discovery that can literally change the world as we know it.
