The next generation of computer architecture may use honey in a memristor chip that emulates human synapses.  

I asked, "perplexity" about it. 

>Yes, honey is being used in memristors. Engineers at Washington State University have created memristors by processing honey into a solid form and sandwiching it between two metal electrodes. These honey memristors are components similar to transistors that can not only process but also store data in memory, imitating the way human synapses work. The researchers have demonstrated that honey holds potential for making brain-like computer chips, with functionalities similar to human neurons and synapses. This innovation could lead to the development of neuromorphic systems that function much like the human brain.  The use of honey in memristors is based on its ability to emulate the functions of human synapses and its stability and reliability due to its low moisture concentration and antibacterial properties.
