New paper on Nature Communications: Neuromorphic dendritic architecture with RRAM for efficient temporal processing with delays
An article in Nature Communications published by the Institute of Neuroinformatic, UZH/ETH Zurich (Filippo Moro, Tristan Torchet, Yiğit Demirağ, Giacomo Indiveri and Melika Payvand) and CEA-LETI in France features DenRAM, the first hardware realization of spiking neural network with dendritic architecture. It utilizes memristive devices to implement both delay and weight parameters, enhancing low-power signal processing with reduced memory use.
Kaveh Razavi receives Jochen Lietke Young Researcher Award
Prof. Kaveh Razavi, head of the Computer Security Group, has received the Jochen Lietke Young Researcher Award at EuroSys. This award was created in 2014 by ACM EuroSys to reward junior European researchers who have demonstrated exceptional creativity and innovation in systems research, broadly construed.
AI as a friend - does a chatbot relationship work? («Einstein», SRF)
In the science programme "Einstein", Benjamin Grewe, Professor of Neuroinformatics and Neural Systems at the Institute of Neuroinformatics (INI), talks about how AI could learn even more about its environment and thus increasingly become a learning algorithm.

The man for freak events
Christoph Schär is one of the Swiss climate scientists who have shaped high-resolution climate modelling. He is now retiring after more than 35 years at ETH Zurich. In this portrait, he explains why he himself never tires of researching climate change.
Scientists make nanoparticles dance to unravel quantum limits
In an experiment carried out at D-ITET's Photonics Laboratory, researchers at the University of Manchester, together with scientists from ETH Zurich and the University of Innsbruck, have established a new approach to overcome a common problem in quantum physics. The results were published in the journal Nature Physics.
