The Future of Neuromorphic Computing

Neuromorphic Computing Devices and Materials
The information age runs on “data as the new oil”, and the volume of data consumed by the world is expected to grow from around 50 zettabytes (ZB) in 2020 to around 170ZB by 2025. The COVID pandemic led to a big increase in data streams to support telepresence for healthcare, shopping, work from home (WFH), and school from home (SFH). Semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs) are the engines of the information age, built using atomic-scale devices in communications, logic and memory chips. A global market for critical materials worth approximately $50B (US dollars) supports a semiconductor manufacturing industry that produces greater than $400B in annual revenues.
