Nanofluidic Interfacial Memristor Imitates Synaptic Plasticy

 

Abstract:

By imitating the processing mechanism of the human brain, it has always been one of the important exploration directions for researchers to build a machine that is similar to (or even surpasses) the human brain, which can work efficiently and energy-saving. These efforts promote to induce artificial intelligence, brain-computer interface and other technologies. However, the transmission of signals in computers is completed by the movement of electrons and holes, and the carriers of biological signals in organisms are various ions. Because the carriers of signal transformation and transmission in computers and human brains are different, computers have not been able to perform well in imitating activity of the human brain. By exploiting novel transport phenomena such as ion selectivity at the nanoscale, it has been shown that nanochannel systems can exhibit electrically controllable conductance, suggesting their potential use in neuromorphic devices. This report will demonstrate that electrically manipulating the nanochannel conductance can result in nonvolatile conductance tuning capable of mimicking the analog behavior of synapses. This novel ionic device has great potential for applications in brain-computer interface or neuromorphic computing.
