Emergent Device Boosts Neuromorphic Computing (IMAGE) DOE/US Department of Energy Caption A computer that uses electronic synapses made of terminals with a top electrode (TE), dielectric layer (DL), and bottom electrode (BE) can emulate the human brain. A neural network using these synapses shows improved image recognition in an MNIST test.
