New Delhi: Indian scientists have created a special chip that works like a brain, which can revolutionize Artificial Intelligence (AI). This chip can store and process data in 16,500 ways in a special kind of film, which was not possible till date. This discovery has been made by scientists of the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore and it has been published in a famous science magazine named 'Nature'. The team of scientists who made this chip was led by Sritosh Goswami. The team also included Navkant Bhat, Deepak Sharma, Shanti Prasad Rath, Vidyabhushan Kundu and Sribrata Goswami. All this work was done at the Nano Science and Engineering Center of IISc. In this project, scientists from Texas A&M University and the University of Limerick, Ireland also helped in simulation and modeling.
Brain-mimicking technology
This new technology can completely change the way our computers work. It is called 'neuromorphic computing' which imitates the brain. Today's computers only work according to programming, but this chip can learn from its surrounding environment, just like our brain does. Sritosh Goswami said, 'Neuromorphic computing was facing many challenges for the last decade. With this discovery, we have created an almost perfect system – this is a rare achievement.'

What two big problems will AI solve?
This discovery can revolutionize the field of AI. It can make it possible to run Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT on common devices like laptops and smartphones. This technology solves two major problems of AI – lack of hardware and high power consumption. This chip has been designed by Professor Sribrata Goswami. This chip uses the movement of ions to store and process data, just like our brain does. It is a kind of molecular diary that works like a computer, but consumes much less power and occupies much less space. To demonstrate the potential of this technology, the team recreated the picture of 'Pillars of Creation' taken by the James Webb Telescope. They did this work with the help of an ordinary computer, which took much less time and energy than a traditional computer.
'This technology could be a game changer'
Professor Navkant Bhat said, “This development can prove to be a game-changer in the context of India Semiconductor Mission, which can revolutionize industrial, consumer and strategic applications. India is now ready to play a leadership role at the global level.” In collaboration with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, the IISc team is now focusing on developing an integrated neuromorphic chip. Goswami said, “This is a completely indigenous effort from materials to circuits and systems. With the right funding, we are on the way to transform this technology into a system-on-a-chip.” The researchers believe that this breakthrough can make India a leader in global technology innovation, especially AI hardware development.
