Magnetic Transistor Could Cut Power Consumption and Make Chips Reprogrammable

one that requires voltage to keep it on, one that requires voltage to keep it off (P channel vs N channel FET's), ones that require current levels to keep it on and off (npn and pnp BJT's)

so to say

"First, keeping the voltage on requires power"

is a broad statement, yea something that uses power requires power

Then

"Second, transistors must be hard-wired into the chips and can't be reconfigured"

well yea, but we have long established configurations of transistors that can be reconfigured to suit needs, its calle
