Fred Jordan of FinalSpark (Switserland) and his team are building a revolutionary new kind of computer, out of human stem cells. The human brain is several orders of magnitude more energy efficient than silicon based computer, and Fred's team hopes to unlock those efficiencies for out-of-brain computation. They have opened up their platform up to research universities, and to the public, and we've pasted the link below. After having financed FinalSpark from the proceeds of his other business for years, Fred is currently raising EUR 50m to accelerate realising their vision.
