Argonne scientists help explain phenomenon in hardware that could revolutionize AI
(World News Science)

A team of scientists from national laboratories and universities has developed a device that can sort information similarly to the most sophisticated machine known to mankind: the human brain. Artificial intelligence, or AI, requires a huge amount of computing power, and versatile hardware to support that power. But most AI-supportive hardware is built around the same decades-old technology, and still a long way from emulating the neural activity in the human brain. The collaborative research team utilized the powerful X-ray nanoprobe imaging tool to study the NdNiO₃ device showing neuron tree-like memory. A scanning electron microscope image of the NdNiO₃ device is shown at the bottom. The...
