Why is MIND important to the evolution of computer technology?
MIND will be focused on extending computer chip technology beyond its current capability. The “holy grail” of this research is to find a new switch to extend beyond CMOS, but whatever MIND might develop along the way will undoubtedly end up benefiting the chip industry in many different ways that we haven’t even thought of yet. And this research can impact other areas even beyond computer chip technology, such as biotechnology, space and energy. Keep in mind, though, that these developments may be a few years down the line. It takes time, of course, to move research from the lab to a product that people can use. But that’s the point of having Innovation Park and Ignition Park, the other technology park in South Bend, to bring these discoveries to market, and support the companies that commercialize them.
