"The new device is built from arrays of resistive random-access memory (RRAM) cells.... The team was able to combine the speed of analog computation with the accuracy normally associated with digital processing. Crucially, the chip was manufactured using a commercial production process, meaning it could potentially be mass-produced."

This is not a new line of research in the sense that this is not the only place looking in the mixed analog/digital computers. been articles on it for at least a year I think and when digital was taking over there was a lot of discussion around it being inferior to analog so I bet its been being thrown around to combine the two likely since digital became a thing.
