Chalcogenides? Like Ovonics?[1] That led decades ago to fast-read, slow-write memory devices. It was a dead end in electronics, but it did work. Makes sense for something that is slowly reconfigurable, like an FPGA.
"This advancement could shift information processing from data centers to local devices, providing real-time responses and extending battery life for applications like robotic motion control and autonomous vehicles."
Now that's a big stretch.

- mdp2021 2y ago> a big stretch What stretch, from hardware to function? It could also be about the big bet that a decentralized system, in which (e.g., in robotics) movement is determined joint by joint as opposed to a top-down global plan, is more efficient. (Edit: although I realize that of course there is a Big long-studied discipline about it - Multiagent Systems.)
