Fig. 1: Bio-inspired mid-infrared neuromorphic transistors using PdSe2/pentacene heterostructure.

a Schematic illustrating the process that the fire beetle recognizes forest fires during flight, utilizing specialized MIR receptors located in its thoracic pit organs and transmits signals to the brain to analyze. b Schematic of the PdSe2/pentacene heterostructure MIR neuromorphic transistor. c The MIR synaptic transistor array memorizes motion trajectories. d The RC system processes output signals from the MIR neuromorphic transistors, analogous to the beetle’s neural processing.
