Skyrmions at Work: Neuromorphic Hardware for the Edge

Why SkyANN? A paradigm shift in AI hardware

From lab to device: how skyrmions, magneto-electric interfaces, and brain-inspired logic redefine neuromorphic computing

WHO WE ARE

At the frontier of Neuromorphic computing

SkyANN brings together a multidisciplinary consortium of leading European research institutions and industrial innovators. From skyrmionics and magneto-electric materials to semiconductor design and neuromorphic architectures, our partners span the entire stack of next-generation AI hardware. We operate across scientific, technological, and industrial domains to accelerate the transfer of breakthrough discoveries into scalable, low power electronics for real-world applications.

Reimagining Neural hardware

At SkyANN, we develop artificial neural networks built not from software, but from physical phenomena. Our approach uses skyrmionic quasiparticles to emulate the behavior of synapses and neurons at the nanoscale. By integrating these magneto-electric devices with CMOS electronics, we create neuromorphic chips that operate with 10,000× less energy and twice the bandwidth of traditional AI hardware. This is computing made for the edge—private, fast, scalable, and radically efficient.

What we do

At SkyANN, we develop artificial neural networks built not from software, but from physical phenomena. Our approach uses skyrmionic quasiparticles to emulate the behavior of synapses and neurons at the nanoscale. By integrating these magneto-electric devices with CMOS electronics, we aim to create neuromorphic chips that operate with 10,000× less energy and twice the bandwidth of traditional AI hardware. This is computing made for the edge—private, fast, scalable, and radically efficient.

How we do it

We design and prototype advanced semiconductor devices that enable ultra-efficient artificial intelligence. Through innovations in neuromorphic computing, skyrmionic data carriers, and energy-aware architecture, we are pushing the limits of what chips can do. SkyANN is not only building a working hardware prototype of a deep neural network—it’s laying the technological groundwork for Europe's next leap in AI hardware, aligned with the EU Green Deal and the Chips Act.
