Radical new 'memristors' work like neurons

A radical new type of'neurochip' that works like the human brain has been revealed by Russian scientists. They have created a neural network using the technology, and say it could lead to radical new types of computer. It could dramatically improve machine vision, hearing, and other sensory organs, and even give robots a mind of their own. A team led by Russian researchers has created a neural network using the'neurochip' technology, and say it could lead to radical new types of computer. A memristor is an electric element similar to a conventional resistor.
