New Devices Emulate Human Biological Synapses

Highly nonlinear, fast and repeatable threshold switching behaviours of diffusive memristors.

Highly nonlinear, fast and repeatable threshold switching behaviours of diffusive memristors.

A new type of nanodevice for computer microprocessors that can mimic the functioning of a neural synapse has been developed by Engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Such neuromorphic computing in which microprocessors are configured more like human brains is one of the most promising transformative computing technologies currently under study. Prof. Yang describes the research as part of collaborative work on a new type of memristive device.

Memristive devices are electrical resistance switches that can alter their resistance based on the history of applied voltage and current...
