The brain processes information using solvated ions, achieving an energy efficiency orders of magnitude higher than that of man-made electronic computers. This remarkable performance has recently inspired efforts to perform computation using artificial ionic channels with nanoscale dimensions. In this presentation, I will give an overview of the emergence of this research field. I will first introduce approaches for device fabrication and for the characterization of their surface properties. I will then present nanofluidic memory effects and synapse-like dynamics, and discuss their underlying mechanisms revealed by direct imaging, as well as the first demonstrations of neuromorphic nanofluidic logic. Finally, I will discuss possible future directions for the field in order to move towards large-scale ionic computing.
