This requires separate units for reading and executing complex operations, and then returning the results to memory, which slows computing. This can create a &#8220;bottleneck,&#8221;. Specially if the computer needs to handle a lot of instructions and data at the same time, it can get slowed down because everything has to travel along the same path.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the other hand, a human brain is a sophisticated, dynamic, reconfigurable system with direct memory access, with neurons conducting the computational operations. Neuromorphic electronics, inspired by the intricate workings of the biological brain, offer the potential to transform information technology through more efficient computing models.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Scientists at the Institute of Nano Science and Technology (INST), Mohali (Punjab), an autonomous institution of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India used a new approach that follows the working principal of human brains to overcome the challenges of \u2019von Neumann computing\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They utilized the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) within the EuO-KTaO<sub>3<\/sub>\u00a0(KTO) oxide heterostructure to develop a chip which exhibited neuromorphic properties as well as showed a large change in resistivity known as resistive switching behaviour.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Current is generated at EuO-KTaO<sub>3<\/sub>\u00a0interface due to shining of light and this persists even after the light is turned off (demonstrating high persistent photoconductivity) resulting in optoelectronic properties necessary for replicating cognitive functions such as sensory perception, learning, and memory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The developed chip not only mimics the short- and long-term plasticity observed in biological synapses but also performs logic gate operations, significantly enhancing its versatility and potential for integration in advanced neuromorphic systems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Supported by the DST\u2019s Nanomission, and CSIR in the form of a sophisticated, custom-made instrument called a combinatorial pulsed laser deposition setup, Prof. Suvankar Chakraverty Professor at INST, Mohali (Punjab), have produced 2DEG at the interface composed of chemicals EuO\u00a0and KTaO<sub>3\u00a0<\/sub>acting as artificial synaptic device showing neuromorphic properties<sub>.<\/sub>\u00a0The research was published in the journal \u2018<em>Applied Physics Letter<\/em>\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Neuromorphic design in oxide interfaces can facilitate more energy-efficient and quicker information processing, enhanced AI capabilities, and improved device miniaturisation. These systems may learn and change with time, resulting in more personalized and responsive technology. Furthermore, their resilience and fault tolerance make them perfect for important applications that will ultimately improve everyday life, including healthcare, education, and environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Publication details:\u00a0<a title=\"External site that opens in a new window\" href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/5.0219906\" target=\"_BLANK\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/5.0219906<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more details, Prof. Suvankar Chakraverty (<a title=\"External site that opens in a new window\" href=\"mailto:suvankar[dot]chakraverty[at]gmail[dot]com\" target=\"_BLANK\" rel=\"noopener\">suvankar[dot]chakraverty[at]gmail[dot]com<\/a>) can be contacted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dst.gov.in\/sites\/default\/files\/EuO-KTO.png\" alt=\"EuO-KTO\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Figure showing the EuO-KTO interface as an artificial synaptic device mimicking the biological synaptic behaviour, showing neuromorphic properties, volatile to non-volatile switching<\/em><em>,<\/em><em>\u00a0and can act as logic gates.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scientists have created an artificial synaptic device that emulates the behaviour of biological synapses to transform information technology through more efficient computing models.
