Researchers have created conditions at the 'edge of chaos' in an electronic device, allowing for rapid information transmission.By mimicking the self-amplifying behavior of neurons, the scientists were able to amplify a signal across a wire without using a separate amplifier.This transmission line, behaving like superconductors, could simplify and improve the efficiency of future computer chips.Operating at the edge of chaos resembles superconductivity, potentially allowing superconductor-like behavior at normal temperatures and pressures.
