Axon-mimicking materials show promise for more efficient computing

A team of researchers from Texas A&M University, Sandia National Lab—Livermore, and Stanford University are taking lessons from the brain to design materials for more efficient computing. The new class of materials discovered is the first of their kind—mimicking the behavior of an axon by spontaneously propagating an electrical signal as it travels along a transmission line. These findings could be critical to the future of computing and artificial intelligence.
