Negative capacitance in topological transistors could reduce computing's unsustainable energy load

Negative capacitance is just another way of saying the energy is stored somewhere else, not in the electric field between the plates. This isn’t some spooky new effect; I was using commerical ferroelectric RAM starting almost 20 years ago.

Australian researchers, eh? So is this negative capacitance linked to the water in the toilet spinning in the other direction...? ;)

I had a six transistor when I was a kid.

I tried that in my AI. She got negative about everything.

The way I see it, there are Men, and there are Women.
But my local school system is teaching very young kids about topological transistors and I think it’s awful.

While I’m grateful for some actual science here (not the fake scientism daily spewed by Corporate Media), the context given for it is the usual garbage that electricity usage is bad, people are evil, etc.

It’s nice to see a real science article. Too bad there are only a few of these in general circulation vs the billions and billions of “media science” jokes available from the usual gang of idiots in the media.

My guess is that this would be unstable. Very influenced by external noise.

Bump for later.

This is a very interesting, and to me unexpected, development.

I hope the US and Israel can master this before the Chinese.

I can envision a lot more benefits than power reduction. Switching speed might be able to be ramped up by an order of magnitude, or more. However, there will definitely be problems with noise that crop up. Hmmm... thinking about that just a little longer: it could result in quantum effects being available at room temperatures and therefore room temperature quantum computers, eventually.
