Harnessing the Metal-Insulator Transition of VO in Neuromorphic Computing.

Future-generation neuromorphic computing seeks to overcome the limitations of von Neumann architectures by colocating logic and memory functions, thereby emulating the function of neurons and synapses in the human brain. Despite remarkable demonstrations of high-fidelity neuronal emulation, the predictive design of neuromorphic circuits starting from knowledge of material transformations remains challenging. VO is an attractive candidate since it manifests a near-room-temperature, discontinuous, and hysteretic metal-insulator transition.
