'Edge of chaos' neuroscience theory could lead to superfast computing chips that behave like superconductors
By tapping into the enigmatic theory of how neurons transmit signals, scientists have proven they can one day build computer chips with near-zero electrical resistance.
By walking a tightrope between order and chaos, researchers could one day make computer chips work more like the human brain. Researchers created conditions at the "edge of chaos," a transition point between order and disorder that allows for rapid information transmission, in an electronic device. Such a transmission line, which mimics the behavior of superconductors, could make future computer chips simpler and more efficient, the team reported Sept. 11 inthe journal Nature.
