On October 12, researchers at Monash University in Australia unveiled a microfluidic chip that functions in a manner akin to the neural pathways of the human brain. This breakthrough holds the promise of paving the way for the development of next-generation computers. The coin-sized chip is crafted from a unique metal-organic framework (MOF) material. It facilitates the transmission of ions through minuscule channels, effectively replicating the switching capability of electronic transistors found in conventional computers. However, what sets this chip apart from traditional computer chips is its ability to 'retain memory' of previous signals, thereby mimicking the plasticity characteristic of brain neurons. The research paper detailing this innovation has been published in the esteemed American journal, Science Advances.
