In a path-breaking study, researchers have created artificial neurological junctions called synapses using a mix of water and salt, paving the way for the development of advanced computers that mimic the performance of a human brain. The artificial brain cells, developed by the team from Utrecht University in the Netherlands and Sogang University in South Korea, use the same water and salt ingredients the brain uses.
The results of the study were published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Scientists striving to develop energy efficient and high-performance computers often look up to human brains as a source of inspiration.
