Neuromorphic computing is a cutting-edge computational approach that draws inspiration from the architecture and functioning of the human brain, but it requires the materials or hardware to emulate the brain's innate efficiency, adaptability, and parallelism for unlocking its full transformative potential. Two-dimensional materials are a new class of materials that are atomically thin but possess intricate properties such as exceptional electrical conductivity, quantum tenability and energy efficiency. Leveraging these properties holds immense potential for advancing neuromorphic computing, as they enable the creation of ultra-efficient synaptic connections, rapid information processing through quantum effects, and efficient signal conversion and modulation in confined two-dimensional space. This convergence of two-dimensional materials and neuromorphic computing opens avenues for developing brain-inspired computing systems that are not only energy-efficient and highly parallel but also capable of emulating the brain's remarkable adaptability and cognitive prowess.
