Siemens' Ujjwal Negi and Prashant Dixit warn that while UCIe 3.0 improves performance and efficiency through higher data rates, runtime recalibration, priority sideband messaging, low-power sideband operation, and circular buffer transport, those enhancements also increase verification complexity. Cadence's Anika Sunda suggests that a unified digital thread that connects verification environ... » read more

Mushroom memristors Researchers from The Ohio State University found that common edible mushrooms can be grown and trained to act as organic memristors. The team cultured samples of shiitake and button mushrooms, dehydrated them once mature to ensure long-term viability, connected them to special electronic circuits, and then electrocuted them at various voltages and frequencies. “Myce... » read more

Mimicking neural plasticity Researchers from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) developed a frequency switching neuristor device that mimics the intrinsic plasticity of neurons. The device can autonomously adjust the frequency of its signals, similar to the way the brain becomes less startled by repeated stimuli or becomes increasingly sensitive through training. The... » read more
