Today’s computing chips are incredibly complex and contain
billions of nano-scale transistors, allowing for fast, high-performance
computers, pocket-sized smartphones that far outpace early desktop computers,
and an explosion in handheld tablets.
Despite their ability to perform thousands of tasks in the
blink of an eye, none of these devices even come close to rivaling the
computing capabilities of the human brain. At least not yet. But a Boise State
University research team could soon change that.
