Future computers will run without energy?

-

The time crystals’ perpetual change of their magnetic fields may be a decisive tool in the developmen­t of future computers. In theory, the crystals may replace the current transistor­s, which like an “up” or a “down” can have one of two values – on or off. One advantage of time crystals is that, once they have been set to turn up or down, they will, in theory, continue without using any energy. Also, they take up less room – up to 1 m times less than transistor­s – so every computer can contain more arithmetic units.
