Self-healing, self-monitoring chip rearranges circuit if damaged
2013-03-25 16:42:54| Extremetech
A standard computer is a complex group of individual parts working together as a whole -- RAM, some kind of data storage, a processor, and so on. When one of those integral parts breaks, the computer is rendered useless and the part must be replaced, but what if the computer could begin routing the broken part's tasks through the parts that are still functional? Computers can't do that just yet, but researchers have now managed to coax a microchip into doing so.

Scientists have taken the next step in the evolution of the computer chip, developing self-healing integrated chips. A team of researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) said they now can envision smartphone and computer chips not only defending themselves but also repairing themselves, recovering from trouble -- like total transistor failure -- in microseconds.
