A research team at University of Limerick has made a major discovery by designing molecules that could revolutionise computing.

The researchers at UL's Bernal Institute have discovered new ways of probing, controlling and tailoring materials at the most fundamental molecular scale.

The results have been used in an international project involving experts worldwide to help create a brand-new type of hardware platform for artificial intelligence that achieves unprecedented improvements in computational speed and energy efficiency.

The research has just been published in the scientific journal Nature.
