在近50年前，参变管首次被提出作为一个逻辑处理系统（1）。在这种方法中，受激谐振子的两个稳定相位为逻辑运算（2-6）提供了基础。基于LC振荡器的计算机架构是为这种方法开发的，但高功耗和集成困难意味着参变管被晶体管淘汰。在这里，我们提出了一种基于纳米机电系统（7-9）的机械逻辑方法，这是一种参数结构的变体，作为迈向可能的纳米机械计算机（10-12）的第一步，我们演示了位存储和位翻转操作。
The Parametron was first proposed as a logic-processing system almost 50 years ago(1). In this approach the two stable phases of an excited harmonic oscillator provide the basis for logic operations(2-6). Computer architectures based on LC oscillators were developed for this approach, but high power consumption and difficulties with integration meant that the Parametron was rendered obsolete by the transistor. Here we propose an approach to mechanical logic based on nanoelectromechanical systems(7-9) that is a variation on the Parametron architecture and, as a first step towards a possible nanomechanical computer(10-12), we demonstrate both bit storage and bit flip operations.
