Artificial Brain Synapses Replicated in a Chip

Micrograph of electrical probing of NIST’s artificial synapse designed for neuromorphic computing. The synapse is a superconducting device, made of niobium electrodes and a manganese-silicon matrix, which mimics the operation of a switch between two brain cells. The chip is 1 square centimeter in size. One artificial synapse is located at the cent (Read more...)
