Description
Zeyu Guan and nine co-authors build chance-based computing parts from a thin film that can hold or flip its charge. Their paper appeared in twenty twenty-six. Chance-based nets are good at hard search tasks but need cheap parts that act by chance plus firm parts that hold links. By tuning gaps in the film, the team made both kinds from the same base.
The chance part flips its output with a settable odds rate and can act as a true random source. It uses very low power per flip, well below past parts. A four-unit test net solved a classic graph task. A large mock net also read RNA shape well in tests.
