This study demonstrates that lipid membranes exhibit non-linear memory effects, where their capacitance changes in response to accumulated charge, linked to membrane shape and curvature alterations. The membranes show a hysteretic buckling response to oscillatory electric fields, suggesting bistable states that could be used for memory storage. A circuit model is introduced to capture these dynamic effects, offering insights into potential applications for energy storage and neuromorphic computing.

We demonstrated that electrical stimulation can modify the characteristics of the lipid membrane, indicating a novel mechanism for storing memory in the human brain.

Long term potentiation (LTP) an important feature of learning and memory in the brain is sensitive to different salts (KCl, NaCl, LiCl, and TmCl3), with LiCl and TmCl3 having the most profound effect in depressing LTP, relative to KCl.

It is seen that the onset of ferromagnetic order in the Kagome-lattice magnetic Weyl semi-metal Co3Sn2S2 is accompanied by a broken local symmetry describable as a rhombohedral to monoclinic distortion.

While studying how bio-inspired materials might inform the design of next-generation computers, scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory achieved a first-of-its-kind result that could have big implications for both edge computing and human health.
