"avoids multiply-accumulate operations... ambipolar behavior from interaction between graphene/ ion gel: fast processing from graphene's high electron mobility, gel's ions/ electrons move at different rates creating wide range of time constants (reaction speeds) allowing processing complex data patterns more efficienctly... 1/100th computational load due to fewer required operations... Edge AI running on sensors or smartphones without draining their batteries or requiring massive data centers"
