Memristors based on 2D MoSe nanosheets as artificial synapses and nociceptors for neuromorphic computing.

Neuromorphic computing inspired by the human brain is highly desirable in the artificial intelligence age. Thus, it is essential to comprehensively investigate the neuromorphic characteristics of artificial synapses and neurons which are the unit cells in an artificial neural network (ANN). Memristors are considered ideal candidates to serve as artificial synapses and neurons in the ANN.
