Tiny memristor chip cuts brain modeling time to under 10 milliseconds

A research team has developed the world’s first chip that can match the speed at which the human brain functions. The study, titled “A sub–10-millisecond neural dynamical system based on phase-change memristors,” was published in Science and was led by Professor Yang Yuchao of Peking University, together with researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
