Thermal computing with mechanical transistors

Submitted by Joshua on

We have developed a mechanical transistor that synergizes a Kirigami thermomechanical sensor and a bistable actuator, enabling in-memory computing for combinational and sequential logic.

Our mechanical computing device stands out by employing modular construction, symmetry breaking, nonlinear materials, crafting logic gates and memory units responding to environmental stimuli through thermal delay.
