Crusty in the right places. Worth the chew.
Summary
Cornell University researchers have developed a novel analog electronic chip called a 'microwave brain' that processes ultrafast data and wireless communication signals simultaneously. Unlike traditional digital computers, this analog chip represents a different approach to computing that challenges conventional digital paradigms.
