Quantum material exhibits non-local behavior that mimics brain function

"neuron or synapse properties consume little energy... neuromorphic computing... non-locality: all circuit wires do not have to be connected to each other... quantum: electricity passed neighboring electrodes affect non-neighboring electrodes... inserting hydrogen ions into nickelate thin film, metal conductor on top, electricity to nickelate causing gel-like hydrogen atoms move and when signal removed new configuration remains... software simulated but need to develop corresponding hardware...  artificial intelligence"
