Increasingly, scientists are turning to the human brain as a model for solving computing challenges related to artificial intelligence and nanodevices. But doing so requires materials that can mimic our neural circuits at the very smallest scale.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform technologies as diverse as solar panels, in-body medical sensors and self-driving vehicles. But these applications are already pushing today’s computers to their limits when it comes to speed, memory size and energy use.
Fortunately, scientists in the fields of AI, computing and nanoscience are working to overcome these challenges. And they are using their brains as their models.
