  • Neuromorphic Hardware and Computing 2024

    An interdisciplinary approach is being taken to address the challenge of creating more efficient and intelligent computing systems that can perform diverse tasks, to design hardware with increasing complexity from single device to system architecture level, and to develop new theories and brain-inspired algorithms for future computing. In this cross-journal collection, we aim to bring together cutting-edge research of neuromorphic architecture and hardware, computing algorithms and theories, and the related innovative applications.
