Brain-Inspired Computing Device That Programs/RePrograms HW On Demand With Electrical Pulses


Multiple academic and government institutions jointly developed a new computer device that can "program and program computer hardware on demand through electrical pulses," according to this Argonne National Lab news release. The device's key materials are neodymium, nickel and oxygen and is referred to as a perovskite nickelate. This new research paper titled "Reconfigurable perovskite nicke... » read more

Week In Review, Manufacturing, Test


Samsung announced initial production of its 3nm process node, which uses a gate-all-around (nanosheet) transistor structure that the company calls Multi-Bridge-Channel FET (MBCFET). The first-generation 3nm process can reduce power consumption by up to 45% compared with a 5nm process, as well as improve performance by 23% and reduce area by 16%, according to the company. The second-generation 3... » read more

Research Bits: June 21


Side-channel protection for edge AI Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology built a chip that can defend against power side-channel attacks targeting machine learning computations in smartwatches, smartphones, and tablets. Side-channel attacks involve observing a facet of the device's operation, in this case power, to deduce secrets. “The goal of this project is to buil... » read more
