This is from the article 'Good vibrations for the future of computing' in the news:

Quote:
With each transistor consuming electrical current and generating heat even when not being actively switched, and with transistors approaching their physical limits of miniaturization and efficiency, the search is on for alternative technology that will eventually replace the electrical transistor and take computing into the future.


This may just be someone's piece of propaganda, but the quoted part has been untrue for more than 40 years now. Modern processors wold melt away if there would be a current even when the transistors don't switch. That technology is called CMOS where the transistors are switched in pairs. One closes while the other opens up. This way there is only a small and brief current during the switching process.
I am endeavoring, ma'am, to construct a mnemonic memory circuit using stone knives and bearskins.
