Noise degrades the performance of any device. This simple statement is not true if principle associated with Stochastic Resonance (SR) comes into play. Here the output exhibits a maximum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for noise floors unequal to zero. The authors have fabricated submicron-sized nanoelectronic devices and tested the noise activated response in these bistable devices under weak periodic modulation. We demonstrate that the weak periodic input can be synchronized with an optimum amount of noise and thus the operation condition of SR is fulfilled.
