Neuromorphic Electronics Beyond Earth: Opportunities in Microgravity Manufacturing

Abstract

Microgravity manufacturing provides a new pathway for producing neuromorphic electronic devices in space, offering both logistical advantages for long-duration missions and unique opportunities to tailor device performance through unique process physics. Recent studies demonstrate that microgravity can modify device manufacturing dynamics, defect structures, and switching behavior, leading to reduced operating voltage, improved stability, and enhanced neuromorphic functionality compared to ground-fabricated counterparts.
