Printable synapse chip computes at 'lightning speed', dissolves in minutes

Researchers created printable, flexible, biocompatible artificial synapses that mimic brain neurons without rigid metals or complex manufacturing. The chip computes at high speed and dissolves within minutes.

• Synapses are printable, flexible, biocompatible and recyclable
• Device avoids rigid metals and complex fabrication
• Chip dissolves within minutes of use
