An NSF grant exceeding $500,000 funds WashU engineer Shantanu Chakrabartty’s project to merge neuromorphic and quantum approaches that harness thermal noise to build a room‑temperature single‑electron neuromorphic processor. The work could cut AI energy use and remove cryogenic limits; readers may want details on the design, energy savings and real‑world impacts.
