Imagine a world where artificial neurons not only rival their biological counterparts in function but also exceed them in speed and scale. Dr. Onen takes us on a captivating journey through this very realm in our latest episode.

Biological neurons and synapses, though remarkably efficient, are constrained by the speed of information processing in the aqueous medium through which action potentials propagate. But what if we could transcend these limitations? Enter nanoscale protonic programmable resistors, artificial solid-state neurons that are not subject to the same time and voltage constraints as their biological analogs.

Dr. Onen delves into his groundbreaking work, where he and his team prototyped these resistors, crafting them to be 1000 times smaller than biological neurons and utilizing complementary metal-oxide semiconductor–c ...
