Listen "Fluid Memory: Monash’s MOF Neuromorphic Chip"

Episode Synopsis

We unpack Monash University’s coin-sized, liquid-based neuromorphic chip built from a metal‑organic framework. By guiding ions through nanofluidic channels, it behaves as a nanofluidic memristor and exhibits unprecedented triode‑like nonlinear proton transport. With a hierarchical MOF design that differentiates ions by size, the device offers short‑term memory and a new path toward brain‑inspired computing beyond silicon. Based on the Science Advances paper, we explore what this means for data storage, Moore’s law, and the future of neuromorphic hardware.Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.
