DARPA-funded project could make computer chips 100x more efficient

A USD 10.6 million DARPA-backed project has started exploring mechanical strain to build faster, more energy-efficient computing beyond CMOS.

Nanoscale mechanical strain could enable ultra-low-power computing

A new computing approach uses amplified nanoscale mechanical strain to switch semiconductor logic states, aiming for far greater energy efficiency than CMOS.

Can Mechanical Strain Power the Future of Computing?

Backed by $10.6 million from DARPA, a Georgia Tech-lead team is investigating how nanoscale mechanical forces can help computers process information using less energy.
