Honey Holds Potential for Making Brain-Like Computer Chips

WSU Insider, Sara Zaske, April 5, 2022

Washington State University (WSU) scientists used honey to produce memristors, in a step toward more environmentally sustainable components for neuromorphic computers. The researchers processed honey into a solid form, and sandwiched it between two metal electrodes, creating a structure resembling a human synapse. They tested the resulting memristors' ability to emulate synapses with high switching on and off speeds of 100 and 500 nanoseconds, respectively; they also mimicked spike-timing dependent plasticity and spike-rate dependent plasticity, which govern learning processes in human brains and neuronal retention of new information. Said WSU's Feng Zhao, "“This is a very small device with a simple structure, but it has very similar functionalities to a human neuron."
