"inspired by human brain's cortex, microscopic connections physically adapt/ reorganize in response to incoming electrical signals, performing computational tasks like speech/ image recognition within material itself, eliminating need for software layers... processes real-world sensor data in smart devices, autonomous vehicles, satellites... complement to conventional cloud computing infrastructure... neuromorphic edge AI where physical material structure itself executes learning and computation"
