**Project Goal:**

This is the flagship moonshot for 'The Future of Compute' at X (the Moonshot Factory). This project is aimed at moving away from simulating physics on digital chips and instead building physical machines whose dynamics ARE the computation itself, achieving a 1,000,000x improvement in useful compute per Joule.


This residency focuses on bridging the gap between p...
