In a development straight out of science fiction, Australian startup Cortical Labs has released what it calls the world’s first code-deployable biological computer. The CL1, which debuted in March, fuses human brain cells on a silicon chip to process information via sub-millisecond electrical feedback loops. Designed as a tool for neuroscience and biotech research, the CL1 offers a new way to study how brain cells process and react to stimuli. Unlike conventional silicon-based systems, the hybr

After all, chiplets are a semiconductor manufacturing and scaling story of sorts! So I’m pivoting. This post shares the fun historical arc of transistor and IC scaling and concludes with the problems chiplets set out to overcome. A future post will pick up where this leaves off, discussing chiplets and their trade-offs.
