This is primarily due to the extensive parallel processing done in our human brain. Data processing and logical decision-making at the same physical location are an exciting aspect of neuromorphic computation. For this, establishing reliable resistive switching devices working at room temperature with ease of fabrication is important. Here, a reliable analog resistive switching device based on Au/NiO nanoparticles/Au is discussed. The application of positive and negative voltage pulses of constant amplitude results in enhancement and reduction of synaptic current, which is consistent with potentiation and depression, respectively.
