I have always thought that digital killed analogue prematurely and unnecessarily. I hope this works out.

Seems to be the press release for this article: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41928-025-01422-1

Anyone know where I can read it?

You can read it from that link if you're accessing from an institution subscribed to Nature or have Nature+.

It seems it will still use some digital process to encode and decode whatever is transmitted or received, I could be misreading it.
