Scientists have demonstrated that nanowire networks can exhibit short-and long-term memory, similar to the human brain. These networks, comprised of highly conductive silver wires covered in plastic and arranged in a mesh-like pattern, mimic the physical structure of the human brain. The team successfully tested the nanowire network’s memory capabilities using a task similar to human psychology experiments. This breakthrough in nanotechnology suggests that non-biological hardware systems could potentially replicate brain-like learning and memory, and has numerous real-world applications, such as improving robotics and sensor devices in unpredictable environments.
In a groundbreaking study, an international team has shown that nanowire networks can mimic the short-and long-term memory functions of the human brain. This breakthrough paves the way for replicating brain-like learning and memory in non-biological systems, with potential applications in robotics and sensor devices.
An international team led by scientists at the University of Sydney has demonstrated nanowire networks can exhibit both short-and long-term memory like the human brain.
