In this episode of Brains and Machines, the CEO and CTO talk to Dr. Sunny Bains of University College London about their inference processor that idles at less than 10 nanowatts and what they hope to do with it. Discussion follows with Dr. Giulia D’Angelo from the Czech Technical University in Prague and Professor Ralph Etienne-Cummings of Johns Hopkins University. Neuronova’s Michele Mastella (CTO) and Alessandro Milozzi (CEO) hold the first version of the evaluation kit they created for internal use.

The breakthrough comes from precise chemical design that lets electrons and ions reorganize dynamically. Unlike conventional electronics, these devices do not just imitate intelligence but physically encode it. This approach could reshape how future AI hardware is built…. <https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/01/260101160857.htm><https://www.edgeir.com/brainchip-secures-25m-to-push-neuromorphic-ai-into-real-world-edge-devices-20251215>BrainChip secures $25M to push neuromorphic AI into real-world edge devices<https://www.edgeir.com/brainchip-secures-25m-to-push-neuromorphic-ai-into-real-world-edge-devices-20251215> EDGEIR.com, 15 December 2025 BrainChip raised $25 million to fast track development and commercialization of its neuromorphic AI technology products, including Akida 2 and Akida GenAI.
