Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a new chip material based on hafnium oxide enhanced with strontium and titanium that functions as a memristor, a device that stores and processes information in the same location, mimicking how neurons in the brain operate. The material achieved switching currents roughly a million times lower than conventional oxide-based devices, and could reduce AI chip energy consumption
