If the next generation of semiconductors are carbon-based instead of silicon-based, then China may become the world leader in semiconductors. R. Colin Johnson @NextGenLog
China's many carbon nanotube research and manufacturing players shown here have taken the lead worldwide in patents and published papers.
Cognitive computers—cognizers—aim to instill human-like intelligence into our smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices using microchips that emulate the human brain. Dubbed the “Future of Computing” by the NYTimes, one of the “Best Innovation Moments of 2011” by the Washington Post and one of “10 World Changing Ideas” in a Scientific American cover story “A Computer Chip that Thinks” this book reveals how neuroscience and computer science are merging in a new era of intelligent machines light-years beyond Apple's Siri, IBM's Watson.
