This project aims to build the first scalable computing architecture based on nanomechanical motion, integrated on a silicon chip and proven in harsh environments. This could extend the performance of computers in space and high-radiation environments, e.g. allowing robust satellite stabilisation. The project will leverage our know-how in phononics and nanofabrication to enable previously unprecedented control of nanomechanical motion, and exquisitely low energy dissipation. It aims to construct a nanomechanical processor capable of digital servo control, built from nanomechanical waveguides, transistors, logic gates and analogue-to-digital converters. It will also develop reversible logic gates, a key step towards ultralow-power computing.

该项目旨在构建第一个基于纳米机械运动的可扩展计算架构，集成在硅芯片上，并在恶劣环境中得到验证。这可以扩展计算机在太空和高辐射环境中的性能，例如允许强大的卫星稳定。该项目将利用我们在声子和纳米纤维方面的专业知识，实现前所未有的纳米机械运动控制和极低的能量耗散。它的目标是构建一个能够进行数字伺服控制的纳米机械处理器，由纳米机械波导、晶体管、逻辑门和模数转换器组成。它还将开发可逆逻辑门，这是迈向超低功耗计算的关键一步。
