Russian Scientists Are Building the Computers of the Future
Researchers in Nizhny Novgorod are developing brain-inspired chips that could make artificial intelligence faster, smarter, and vastly more energy-efficient.
At the Znanie science marathon, Susanna Gordleeva, director of the Institute of Neurosciences at Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, unveiled groundbreaking research in neuromorphic computing — a field that mimics how the human brain processes information.
Toward “Thinking” Machines
Using mathematical models, researchers simulate biophysical processes that underlie human cognition. Gordleeva noted that practical applications for these technologies are already emerging — from autonomous vehicles and medical neurointerfaces to smart home systems.
Neuromorphic processors could handle massive data streams in real time, paving the way for what scientists describe as “intelligent AI.” These brain-like, energy-efficient chips represent a radical shift in computing — one that could redefine how machines learn, adapt, and think.
