Associated Press: Remnants of Pacific Hurricane Oho battered Alaska's southeast coast on Friday, the latest unusual weather event to hit a state that so far this year has dealt with a lack of snow, warmer temperatures and intense wildfires. The storm on Thursday brought more than 7 inches of rain to Ketchikan, a scenic town in Alaska's coastal rainforest. Gusts of up to 80 mph were forecast for Friday, and more rain was expected across the region. Jon Dorman, deputy emergency manager for the city of Ketchikan, said...

Strongly Interacting Electrons In Wacky Oxide Synchronize To Compute Like The Brain

2014-05-20 08:51:01| rfglobalnet News Articles

Current computing is based on binary logic – zeroes and ones – also called Boolean computing. A new type of computing architecture that stores information in the frequencies and phases of periodic signals could work more like the human brain to do computing using a fraction of the energy of today's computers.

Are synchronized wacky oxide chips the key to brain-like computers?

2014-05-15 17:07:08| Extremetech

Researchers at Penn State have created a new kind of computer chip that could be the key to creating neuromorphic (brain-like) computers that can solve incredibly complex problems while consuming just 1% of the power of current chips. These new chips contain a special "wacky oxide" (that's the scientific term) material that oscillates at certain frequency, and synchronizes with other nearby wacky chips -- much in the same way that nearby neurons often fire in synchrony.
