IBM scientists have created artificial neurons and synapses using phase change memory (PCM) that mimics the brain's cognitive learning capability.
It is the first time the researchers were able to create what they described as "randomly spiking neurons" using phase-change materials to store and process data. The discovery is a milestone in developing energy-sipping and highly dense neuro networks that could be used for cognitive computing applications.

Yes! Another step toward replacing humans with cyborgs.
Cognitive computing applications.>
Like Skynet
fyi
” In three years, Cyberdyne will become the largest supplier of military computer systems. All stealth bombers are upgraded with Cyberdyne computers, becoming fully unmanned. Afterwards, they fly with a perfect operational record. The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes online August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.”

DR. Emilio Lizardo taking on the Hong Kong Cavaliers. He’ll need help from John Bigboote.
This is interesting..
From the company that made the Lotus Notes nightmare.
Oh well, back to the drawing board.
Thanks for posting.
Fascinating? Yes. Scary? Yes.
