‘Edge of chaos’ neuroscience theory could lead to superfast computing chips that behave like superconductors

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. It allowed the scientists to amplify a signal transmitted […]
