A Brain Built From Atomic Switches Can Learn

9/23/2017

This article discusses a groundbreaking experiment in which researchers constructed a brain-like neural network using atomic switches. The researchers created a network of atomic-scale devices that emulates the function of neurons in the brain. They found that this network, called a 'memristive network', was capable of learning and adapting, just like a biological brain. The article explains that this research could lead to the development of more efficient and powerful artificial intelligence systems, as well as shed light on the fundamental processes underlying learning and memory in the human brain. The experiment demonstrates the potential for creating brain-like computational systems using atomic-scale devices.
