'This is not a faster car, this is a spacecraft.'
By ditching the normally used organic mediums and opting for high tech glass, known as inorganic phosphosilicate glass , instead, the researchers were able to reach nanosecond speeds, which were faster than the synapses in the human brain.
"The action potential in biological cells rises and falls with a timescale of milliseconds, since the voltage difference of about 0.1 volt is constrained by the stability of water," said senior author and professor of nuclear science Ju Li, in the statement. "Here we apply up to ten volts across a special solid glass film of nanoscale thickness that conducts protons, without permanently damaging it.
The material is both common and easy to fabricate, making it not only the fastest option, but also a practical one. "Once you have an analog processor, you will no longer be training networks everyone else is working on," said lead author Murat Onen in the statement. "You will be training networks with unprecedented complexities that no one else can afford to, and therefore vastly outperform them all."
