"textContent": "Researchers have developed a new kind of nanoelectronic device that could dramatically cut the energy consumed by artificial intelligence hardware by mimicking the human brain. The researchers, led by the University of Cambridge, developed a form of hafnium oxide that acts as a highly stable, low-energy \"memristor\"—a component designed to mimic the efficient way neurons are connected in the brain. The results are reported in the journal Science Advances.",
