US scientists developed a mechanical computer powered by springs that performs calculations without electricity. Using physical “memory” in materials, it can handle logic and counting tasks through movement instead of electronics. Though simple, it could work in extreme environments where chips fail and may lead to durable technologies like smart materials, sensors, and battery-free prosthetics.
