New electronics could 'learn' like the human brain
Neuromorphic computing is a relatively new discipline in which electronic circuits mimic neurological systems in the body. Recently, it has come to the forefront of electronics to achieve sophisticated artificial intelligence. To accomplish this, researchers aim to build a neuromorphic memristor, a type of electrical component that can function like real brain synapses. A team at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has found a way to create a neuromorphic memristor. By using biological, but conductive filaments, the team created a tool that works efficiently on low power. One of the bigge...
