Yeah, the linked article seems to be dumbed-down to the point of being information free. It does contain a link to this report which has a bit more information.

Still not totally clear, but my understanding is that they are using these Ferroelectic Diodes for both memory and "compute", and that this is a memristor-type device.

The "compute" claim seems a bit exaggerated, but seems to be saying that given the response curve of the device it can effectively "multiply" by a pre-programmed weight value as part of memory recall.

Maybe someone can confirm my take, or correct if wrong.
