Today's Tech News: Notable or Not?

https://techxplore.com/news/2025-12-memristor-based-boosts-energy-efficiency.html "AI accelerators bulky/ power-hungry, overcome using memristors dynamically fine-tuning signal conversion based on incoming data rather than fixed, inefficient settings... 15.1X improved energy efficiency, 12.9X reduced circuit area allowing for smaller chips... Compute-In-Memory systems: 57% reduced total chip energy, 30% reduced overall size... high accuracy across various neural network models, faster, operates on much smaller batteries... edge devices: smartphones, sensors"
