Bengaluru researchers develop highly energy-efficient computer platform

Researchers at the Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE), Indian Institute of Science, here, have developed a highly energy-efficient computing platform that they said offers promise in building next-generation electronic devices. The massive growth of data centres that consume enormous amounts of energy has contributed significantly to power shortages worldwide, the IISc noted. With rising demand for faster and more intelligent computers and devices, there is a pressing need to develop alternatives to traditional electronic components that will make these devices more energy-efficient, it was stated. Instead of using complementary metal-oxide semiconductors (CMOS) which are the building blocks of most electronic circuits today, the team of researchers used components called memristors that can both store data and perform computation. By designing unique memristors based on metal-organic complexes, the team could cut down the number of components needed in a circuit, grea
