An estimated 80 per cent of the world’s cargo is transported via ship-borne containers — a method that has soared in use in the decades after World War II. The
The enormous surge of face-mask use since the beginning of the global lockdown in March 2020 has saved countless human lives, a crucial component to limiting the transmission of the
Chameleon-Like Material Spiked With Boron Comes Closer To Mimicking Brain Cells
December 13, 2020
In a new study, Texas A&M researchers in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering describe a new material that comes close to mimicking how brain cells perform computations.
Each waking moment, our brain processes a massive amount of data to make sense of the outside world. By imitating the way the human brain solves everyday problems, neuromorphic systems have tremendous potential to revolutionize big data analysis and pattern recognition problems that are a struggle for current digital technologies.
But for artificial systems to be more brain-like, they need to replicate how nerve cells communicate at their terminals, called the synapses.
