Researchers in France have created an artificial synapse based on ferroelectric tunnel junctions that can autonomously learn to recognize patterns. They have also succeeded in modelling the synapse’s plasticity by looking at how its resistance varies with varying applied voltage. The device, also known as a memristor, might be used to make intelligent artificial neural networks that mimic how the human brain works…..
