Sound Waves Give Neuromorphic Chips a Brain-Simulating Edge (opens in new tab)

dramatically less energy than conventional electronic AI chips. However, even the most sophisticated neuromorphic devices today are still quite simple, using only a small fraction of the number of connections found in human neurons. Now a new study suggests that using sound waves, neuromorphic devices can better mimic biological neurons and operate faster and with greater energy efficiecy than their electronic counterparts.“This could make future neuromorphic hardware more compact, more paral...
