Researchers in Japan and the US propose a nanoionic device
with a range of neuromorphic and electrical multifunctions that may allow the
fabrication of on-demand configurable circuits, analog memories and
digital–neural fused networks in one device architecture.
Synaptic devices that mimic the learning and memory
processes in living organisms are attracting avid interest as an alternative to
standard computing elements that may help extend Moore’s law beyond current
physical limits.
