Neuromorphic computing uses principles from neuroscience to create devices that mimic neural systems, achieving efficient brain-like processing. It combines photonics and neuromorphic architectures for high efficiency and connectivity. More Signal, Less Background: Improving Signal To Noise RatioThe path to improving signal-to-noise ratio - the ratio of the power of signal (desired input) to the power of background noise (undesired input) - is to reduce the power of the noise – less background.

The release of the integrated resource plan (IRP) 2023 sparked much necessary debate about the future of South Africa’s energy mix. However, with a rampant private sector investment pipeline in renewables and the impending shift to a market model, we have to acknowledge the decreasing relevance of an IRP-led section 34 procurement, which has in the past consistently under-delivered against procurement targets in any case.
