Biological neuronal networks are highly complex and interconnected with superior information processing capabilities. Such networks have previously served as a model for creating inorganic synapses [1] through silver compounds. However, efficiently generating such complex networks through conventional fabrication remains a challenge. Our mission objective was to grow nanometer/sub-micrometer scale silver dendrite networks in microgravity and characterize them for nanoscale manufacturing on Earth.
