Researchers discover a material that can learn like the brain

Mohammad Samizadeh Nikoo, a PhD student at EPFL School of Engineering’s Power and Wide-band-gap Electronics Research Laboratory (POWERlab), made a chance discovery during his research on phase transitions in Vanadium Dioxide (VO2). VO2 has an insulating phase when relaxed at room temperature, and undergoes a steep insulator-to-metal transition at 68 °C, where its lattice structure changes. Classically, VO2 exhibits a volatile memory: “the material reverts back to the insulating state right after

The researchers performed a host of measurements to arrive at their findings. They also corroborated their results by applying the new method to different materials at other laboratories around the world. This discovery replicates well what happens in the brain, as VO2 switches act just like neurons.

it’s been a while since i posted, but life has felt fuller lately. i’ve been spending time with classmates and also doing things just for me. i’m so thankful to God for getting me through my darkest days and letting me fall deeper in love with my major and research (’-’*)♪

good morning everyone ! ! ☆

finals week is here, so im posting an older pic… but yesterday i saw the prettiest rainbow and i couldn’t not share it

yesterday was really heavy for me, but seeing that at the end of the day felt like a quiet reminder that things pass 🌈

it’s been a while since i last posted. classes started a week ago, and research started the week before that. to be honest, i’ve been having a hard time balancing everything lately. the funny thing is, i don’t even have much of a social life....i’m really just learning how to be there for myself.

even so, i wouldn’t trade my life for anything. i’m trying to stay rooted in gratitude, especially for the small, quiet things that carry me through my hardest days. all the glory to God for getting me through every single one.

today started off a little stressful… i didn’t wake up at 04:30 like i wanted, i hadn’t started my weekly meeting slides, and i was nervous about learning a new instrument lol.

but good news.... i actually finished my slides by 09:00, wrapped up some plots for a paper we’re trying to get out (fr this time), and learning the ftir ended up being really fun.

right now i’m reading a journal article for my polymer chemistry class and trying to wind down a bit. hope everyone’s having a gentle evening <3
