MedGadget - Our brains mainly consist of brain cells and the connections between them, making them quite modular and incredibly adaptable. Brain synapses, the connections between neurons, seem to be responsible for at least some of the computational magic that allows us to think, move, and respond to all sorts of stimuli. Being able to replicate the functionality of synapses may allow us to simulate the brain’s activities, and therefore to study its behavior in a very hands-on way.
Researchers National Institute of Standards and Technology have done just that by creating functionally equivalent artificial synapses inside an electronic chip. They’re made of superconducting niobium electrodes separated by a manganese-silicon insulator. To pass through the insulator, the electric signals..>>>
