The '''Crossbar latch''' is a technology published by Phillip Kuekes of [[HP Labs]] in 2001 and granted a US patent in 2003,<ref>{{Cite web|date=2005-04-21|title=Researchers Find that the 'Crossbar Latch' Can Replace Transistors and Improve Processing Power|url=https://www.azonano.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=1206|access-date=2021-12-23|website=AZoNano.com|language=en}}</ref> with the goal of eventually replacing [[transistor]]s in various applications.<ref> {{cite journal |last1=Kuekes |first1=Philip J. |last2=Stewart |first2=Duncan R. |last3=Williams |first3=R.

In 2005, Phillip Kuekes stated that the crossbar latch "could someday replace transistors in computers, just as transistors replaced [[vacuum tube]]s and vacuum tubes replaced electromagnetic relays before them."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Singer |first1=Michael |date=2005-02-02 |title=HP's "Crossbar Latch' to Replace Transistors? |url=http://www.internetnews.com/ent-news/article.php/3467491 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210511074624/https://www.internetnews.com/ent-news/article.php/3467491 |archive-date=2021-05-11 |accessdate=8 May 2015 |website=InternetNews.com}}</ref>
