The surge in scientific literature obscures breakthroughs and hinders the discovery of new research paths. We propose an artificial intelligence (AI) powered framework using large language models (LLMs) and knowledge graphs (KGs) to automate parts of scientific discovery, focusing on energy-efficient AI circuits. Our hybrid approach combines LLMs, structured data, and ontology-based reasoning to construct a comprehensive knowledge graph that integrates insights across computational neuroscience, spiking neuron models, learning rules, architectural motifs, and neuromorphic device technologies. This multi-domain representation enables the generation of hypotheses that connect biological function with implementable, energy-efficient hardware architectures. Using KG embeddings and graph neural networks, the framework generates hypotheses for novel circuits, validates them through optimization on exascale HPC systems, and with tools like SuperNeuro and Fugu, the most promising designs will be prototyped in hardware. This open-source system aims to accelerate discoveries and bridging neuroscience with hardware innovation, drive collaboration, and unlock new opportunities in low-power AI computing.
