A team of scientists from Bengaluru’s Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) have developed a low energy consuming, high-speed tech that has brain-like computing capability.
For this, they used scandium nitride, a semiconducting material with supreme stability to develop brain-like computing.
Traditional computers have physically separated memory storage and processing units.
They take enormous energy and time to transfer data between these units during an operation.
In contrast, the synapse (the junction between two neurons) in the human brain serves as both a processor and a memory storage device.
This was making it a superior biological computer that is both smaller and more effective.
