Abstract in brief

  • This article discusses how researchers are creating brain-inspired computing systems using tiny fluidic ion channels, which mimic how our brains transport ions for processing information.
  • They developed easy-to-make microchannels embedded with nanochannels that act as volatile memory devices, whose stability and memory times can be tuned by changing the channel length.
  • The study demonstrates using these ion channels as synaptic elements in a neuromorphic system to recognize handwritten numbers, opening new possibilities for brain-like, low-power computing technologies.]

Peut on recréer une synapse artificielle qui fonctionne grâce au sel dans du liquide et grâce aux canaux sodiques dans des conditions proche et des vraies synapses? Oui répondent des équipes coréennes et néerlandaises. https://t.co/XCVkXdLYAe

We never left the ocean, we just wrapped it inside our cells and brought it with us. We are smart brine. https://t.co/31KDrQ8xCo
