Scientists create world's smallest computer

Scientists have created what they claim is the world's smallest computer system that is just one square millimetre in size and can fit into one's eyeball. Developed by a team at the University of Michigan, the unnamed tiny device is a pressure monitor that can be implanted in a person's eye to treat glaucoma. It may be just one square millimetre in size but it packs a hefty punch, containing an ultra low-power microprocessor, a pressure sensor, memory and a thin film battery, the Daily Mail reported.

It also has a solar cell and a wireless radio with an antenna that can transmit data to an external reader device, the researchers said. The device is already being touted as the future of the computing industry, although it needs several more years to be commercially available. Its creators -- Professors Dennis Sylvester, David Blaauw and David Wentzloff -- claim that as the device's radio needs no tuning to find the right frequency it could link to a wireless network of computers.

IBM unveils a chip that mimic human brains!

IBM Research has unveiled a prototype of a computing chip that can mimics human brains. Computers with processors that mimic the human brain's cognition, perception, and action abilities are a lot closer than they've ever been after IBM on Wednesday unveiled the first generation of chips that will power them. This experiment is a part of the cognitive computing initiative.

In correlation to its multi-year cognitive computing initiative, IBM is implementing the guiding principles of nanoscience, neuroscience and supercomputing. According to an IBM press release, researchers have created the first neurosynaptic computing chips that recreate the phenomena between spiking neurons and synapses in biological systems (brain) by utilizing advanced algorithm and silicon circuitry.
