Microelectromechanical resonators behave as logic gates thanks to the tunability of their resonance frequencies. Here, the authors combine the mechanical response to electrothermal frequency modulation to demonstrate 2- and 3-bit reprogrammable logic gates at room temperature and under modest vacuum.
