Scientists develop brain-inspired chip to cut AI energy use by 70%
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a high-performance memristor using a specialized hafnium oxide.
A memristor is a low-energy component that mimics how our brain cells connect, helping conserve energy.
This…

Magnets turn random snapping in soft metamaterials into repeatable sequences
Cutting patterns into elastic materials allows you to unfold those materials into new shapes, and researchers have now demonstrated the ability to control the sequence in which that unfolding happens by magnetizing the materials. The work…
