Neuroscience Theory Paves Way for Superfast Superconductor-like Chips
Researchers have developed a method to create computer chips that operate at the 'edge of chaos,' a state that allows for rapid information transmission similar to the human brain. By using a material called lanthanum cobaltite, they achieved signal amplification without separate amplifiers, mimicking the behavior of superconductors. This breakthrough could lead to simpler and more efficient computer chips, potentially operating at normal temperatures and pressures, by reducing the need for repeaters and buffers.
