Artificial Synapse for Brain-Like Computing

February 6 , 2023 661 days 498 0
  • 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.
