Computers could mimic neural networks in the brain — and be much more energy efficient — with a new computer component that mimics how the brain works by acting like a synaptic cell. It’s called an electrochemical random access memory (ECRAM), and researchers have developed materials that offer a commercially-viable way to build these components.
Researchers from KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stanford University have now fabricated a material for computer components that enable the commercial viability of computers that mimic the human brain.
Electrochemical random access (ECRAM) memory components made with 2D titanium carbide showed outstanding potential for complementing classical transistor technology, and contributing toward commercialization of powerful computers that are modeled after the brain’s neural network. Such neuromorphic computers can be thousands times more…
