China has started mass production of the world’s first non-binary chips, adding this new technology to important industries like aviation and manufacturing.
Spearheaded by Professor Li Hongge and his team at Beihang University in Beijing, this project resolves key problems in older systems by blending binary logic with random or probability-based logic. In doing so, it has enabled unprecedented fault tolerance and power efficiency, while smoothly sidestepping US chip restrictions.
We are rapidly falling behind. Not good.
