The war in Ukraine exacerbated the global problem with a shortage of chips and semiconductors, because our country was one of the world’s exporters of neon.
Therefore, the minds of the world began to look for what in the future it would be possible to replace a rare chemical element.
And the decision turned out to be unexpected – according to researchers from the University of Washington, the future of neuromorphic computer chips may lie in … honey.
Engineers were able to create a functioning memristor from honey. A memristor is a component similar to a transistorand it is capable of both processing and storing data in memory in the same way that the human brain does.
Scientists involved in the study argue that this technology could pave the way for sustainable, biodegradable, and extremely fast computing.
Such systems should be much faster and less energy intensivethan even the best computers of today.
The target size should be around 1/1000 of a human hair, meaning these memristors need to be designed at the nanoscale. Honey did a great job with this, according to digitaltrends.com.
Scientists have compared a memristor made of honey to a human neuron, claiming that it has very similar features while keeping a very small size.
However, even here Western engineers cannot do without Ukraine, because our country is the second exporter of honey in the world.
