Neuromorphic dynamical systems could deliver 1000x energy efficiency over von Neumann architectures
The brain computes at ~20 watts using nonlinear dynamics and stochastic oscillatory coupling rather than matrix math; by building synthetic circuits that exploit the time axis of physics fo…
AI energy demand will hit global capacity limits within 2-4 years without substrate breakthrough
Current AI trajectory consumes gigawatts for inference and training; with humanity's total brain power at only 160 GW vs 9,000 GW global electrical capacity, the von Neumann compute paradig…

2D lithography scaling has hit diminishing returns for energy per operation
Traditional semiconductor scaling via 2D lithography has reached a plateau where manufacturing and packaging improvements lower cost but no longer reduce energy per flop with memory access,…
