A New Brain-on-a-Chip May Usher in the Beginning of the Singularity
POPULAR MECHANICS, 23 September 2025
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Memristors, or “memory resistors,” are the leading candidate for replacing synapses in a neuromorphic (brain-like) computer. Earlier this year, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, or KAIST, announced the development of a self-learning memristor that’s even better at replicating the synapses in our brain. This could allow AI computing to occur locally while also being more energy efficient and capable of improving at tasks over time….

International Success: Austrian Research Partnership Sets New Standards in Neuromorphic Computing
SAL Silicon Austria Labs, 26 August 2025
Unlike classical computers, which process information in bits, the human brain uses short electrical impulses—known as spikes. What matters is the precise timing of these spikes, which carries the actual information. This timing-based representation allows the brain to transmit more complex information per signal compared to a digital bit, which can only be “0” or “1.” The intervals between…

“We’re building chips that think like the brain” — I got a front row seat to see how neuromorphic computing will transform your next smart device
tom's guide, 11 August 2025
For how powerful today’s “smart” devices are, they’re not that good at working smarter rather than working harder. With AI constantly connected to the cloud and the chip constantly processing tasks (even when the device is asleep), this leads to high power consumption, limited privacy, and the constant need for connectivity. Neuromorphic computing offers a radical alternative, but what is it?…
