NOT / INVERTER gate:

If you look very closely, you can see that as the signal moves to the end of the parallel wires, it actually causes the first cell of the output wire to adopt the opposite (inverted) state!

This is again caused by the charges trying to get as far from one another as possible (the key to all QCA behavior).

With MAJORITY, AND, OR and INVERTER gates we can make much more complex logic circuits.
