Magnets Emulate Neurons for Next-Generation Computing In the quest to develop new computing tech — electronics that can think like the human brain — researchers from The University of Texas have made breakthroughs.

Magnets that think? Texas Engineers are pushing the boundaries of computing by developing artificial neurons made of magnetic materials 🧲

Swipe through and tap to learn how these neurons can also keep working for a long time without losing efficiency, a major challenge.

In 1947, Edith Clarke became the first female professor of electrical engineering in the country when she joined @utaustin.bsky.social. In celebration of #WomensHistoryMonth, we would like to honor our extraordinary women faculty in @utexasece.bsky.social
