Abstract

Brain-inspired neuromorphic systems emerged at the interface of neurosciences, material sciences, and electronics. This viewpoint explores this disciplinary intersection, ranging from its biological inspiration to the translation of underlying principles into material and artificial device engineering, while discussing ongoing challenges and opportunities for fundamental or technological breakthroughs. This contribution reflects the perspectives of Juan Bisquert, a leading expert in materials science and electrochemical systems, and Michele Giugliano, a specialist in neuroscience and neuromorphic computing. Their dialogue is moderated and harmonized by Jovana V. Mili & cacute;, whose interdisciplinary expertise bridges chemical and biological sciences.
