In this way, for example, a NAND gate (a logic not-and gate) can be switched to a NOR gate (a logic neither-nor gate). “Until now, the intelligence of electronics has come simply from the interconnection of several transistors, each of which had only a fairly primitive functionality. In the future, this intelligence can be transferred to the adaptability of the new transistor itself,” says Prof. Walter Weber. “Arithmetic operations, which previously required 160 transistors, are possible with 24 transistors due to this increased adaptability. In this way, the speed and energy efficiency of the circuits can also be significantly increased.”
In this way, the speed and energy efficiency of the circuits can also be significantly increased
They did not say how long it takes to reorganise a gate nor how much energy it takes, nor if they can .. So that remains to be explained
also they do not mention if they are competitive in terms of size. if their 24 transistors are much larger than the 160 transistors then the energy efficiency might suffer.
