Negative capacitance In topological transistors could reduce Computing's unsustainable energy load


"to make topological transistors switch at lower voltage, potentially reducing energy losses by a factor of ten or more... an electric field can be used to switch a material from topological insulator (which conducts electricity along its edges) to a normal insulator (which doesn’t conduct at all). This allows a topological material to be used as a transistor, called a topological quantum field-effect transistor (TQFET)... ‘More than Moore’ and beyond CMOS technologies."
