Scientists are working on new materials to create neuromorphic computers with a design based on the human brain. A crucial component is a memristive device, the resistance of which depends on the history of the device—just as the response of neurons depends on previous input. Materials scientists from the University of Groningen analyzed the behavior of strontium titanium oxide, a platform material for memristor research and used the 2-D material graphene to probe it. On 11 November 2020, the results were published in the journal ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces.
