Is it possible to make an artificial brain with AI? Breakthrough achieved, know in detail

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

artificial brain cells. A team comprising scientists from Utrecht University in the Netherlands and Sogang University in South Korea has developed artificial neurological junctions called synapses using a mix of water and salt. It is considered an important achievement paving the way for the development of advanced computers that mimic the performance of a human brain.

Human brains synapses

Human brains use water and dissolved salt particles called ions as their medium, while advanced computer systems rely on conventional solid materials for the same function. With the recent breakthrough, it has become clear that computers can be developed that will work like a human brain.

Iontronic memristor

According to the study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists have a device called an Iontronic memristor, which carries water and salt inside. It measures just 150 by 200 micrometers wide, the same width as three or four human hairs put side-by-side.

Device that mimics human brains

This device also remembers how much electrical charge has previously flowed through it. Like human brains, these electrical impulses cause ions to move through the cone-shaped channel, with variations in the electrical charge leading to variations in the ion movement.
