Race Logic Computing — In recent years, computer chip's transistors have gotten a thousand times smaller, a hundred thousand times faster, and able to use a billion times less energy. But these incredible improvements from the early days of computing are not enough anymore. That's why researchers at NIST are aiming to develop a new type of computer circuit that uses something we call “race logic” to solve problems, quickly and with more energy efficiency.
