[popupwfancybox id=”7″] Mimicking Nature’s Computers How does nature compute? Attempting to answer this question naturally leads one to consider biological nervous systems, although examples of computation abound in other manifestations ... read more
Introduction Many memristive materials have recently been reported [1–5], and the trend continues. New designs and materials are being used to create a diverse range of devices and Knowm Inc. is now selling discrete memristors! Memristor models are also... read more
The first component that realizes the two-decades-old search for analog hardware that mimics the learning ability of the human brain’s synapses and neurons has come to market. Based on memristors, the component from startup Knowm Inc. (Sante Fe, N.M... read more
Introduction Knowm partner Hillary Riggs and I had the great pleasure of attending the Navy Karles Invitational Conference on Neuroelectronics, hosted by the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington DC from August 18-19, 2015. It was a small and short even... read more
The Moment of Change for Neuromorphic Computing Systems Today marks the end of a grueling but exciting six weeks since we launched Knowm Inc. I have spoken with dozens of analysts and reporters and criss-crossed the country. We introduced Knowm Inc. and o... read more
Is there something else out there? At a fundamental level, everything in the Universe originates from natural processes of self-organization. At the lowest levels we see simple and highly deterministic processes or ‘rules’ that guide the time-... read more
