Originally posted by sonhouseI have already read that link and I am a bit confused by what they are claiming their circuit can actually do. They say they can make logic gates such NAND which would appear to imply that their circuits could be made into computer microprocessors possibly for ordinary PCs. But they say:

Originally posted by humyI gather the gates talk to each other through magnetic fields not electric current. Could be wrong but that's how Is see it.
