Toward physical AI: When the hardware becomes the neural network

Electrical EngineeringMaterials SciencePhysics
THE AI ANGLE
computing directly through adaptive material connections

Researchers reviewed self-organizing nanowire and nanoparticle networks that perform neural network computing directly inside their physical structures. This shift allows engineers and materials scientists to design edge devices that adapt locally and process sensor data with low power requirements.

THE TEACHING ANGLE
The design challenges the standard separation between passive silicon hardware and the software algorithms that run on it.
