Pakistan, March 8 -- Chinese scientists have achieved a major breakthrough by developing the world's first carbon-based microchip capable of running AI tasks using a ternary logic system. Researchers from Peking University and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications created this chip using carbon nanotubes (CNTs), a material known for its exceptional electrical conductivity and stability. This innovation could surpass the limitations of traditional silicon-based chips.

Unlike conventional binary chips, which use ones and zeros, this ternary logic system introduces a third state. This advancement allows faster processing while consuming less energy, making computing more efficient. The team designed a unique source-gated transi...
