CRCF FY2015 Awardee, Dr. Bandyopadhyay develops 'straintronic spin neuron' that may greatly improve neural computing

FY2015 awardee, Dr. Supriyo Bandyopadhyay, and his team at VCU have developed a new type of artificial neuron called a "straintronic spin neuron" that could serve as the basic unit of artificial neural networks, modeled after human brains that have the ability to compute, learn, and adapt. The new artificial neuron is potentially more energy efficient, more robust against thermal degradation, and fires at a faster rate
