New computer simulations help scientists advance energy-efficient microelectronics

Thanks to advances in microchips, today's smartphones are so powerful they would have been considered supercomputers in the early 1990s. But the rising ubiquity of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things—the vast network of connected devices that have enabled everything from smart grids to smart homes—will require a new generation of microchips that not only outpace previous records of miniaturization and performance but are also more energy efficient than current technologies.
