			== Relation to reversible computing ==

			Rod logic seems to lend itself to reversible computing in an easy to understand/comprehend way. <br>
			As such it may be a good didactic tool for teaching reversible computing principles. <br>

* Add a basic explanation
* Show and explain basics ([[retractile cascade]]s - collect all relevant images here)
* Show and explain Robert Baruchs reversible logic latch memory cell (from links below)
* Different designs [[polyyne rods]] vs [[crystolecule rods]]
* Considerations regarding friction/dissipation and radiation hardness

* [[Polyyne rods]]
* [[Crystolecule rods]]
* [[Zuse Z1]] - not rod logic but reciprocative logic <br>(depending on friction & gravity thus not 1:1 usable for nanoscale)

Especially interesting here is a latching memory cell that <br>
seems simpler and more natural than the one presented in the book [[Nanosystems]].
