Mimicking the brain using SnOx nanoparticles

Mimicking the brain using SnOx nanoparticles

Researchers from the School of Engineering & the School of Science (Dr Phoung Le & Dr Jim Partridge) have used a suite of surface-sensitive techniques (SEM, XPS, AFM) to investigate the formation of artificial neural networks from memristive SnOx nanoparticles.

The recurrent electrical connections and dynamic resistive switching properties allow the nanoparticle networks to be used as a reservoir computer – an emerging, low-computational cost technique for cognitive temporal/sequential data processing.
