(Image credit: Getty Images) "Oscillator-based computing" is a term that doesn't make many headlines, but this area of computation is evolving and showing promise. The latest impressive development comes from an experiment in which boffins managed to synchronize 105,000 nano-oscillators in just 45 nanoseconds, reportedly using very little energy. Go deeper with TH Premium: CPU In layman's terms, the entire grid of tiny magnets, once perturbed, synchronized itself entirely within 45 ns, all just using the magnets' inherent spin — think of ripples on a water surface. Each oscillator measures 10-20 nm across, and the 105,000-count result is nearly a 1000x upgrade over the previous demonstration with 64 oscillators, proving that the technology can be scaled. In this new experiment, synchronization time barely increased with additional oscillators: it was 10 ns with 100 oscillators and rose only to 45 ns at 105,000.…
