What about Asynchronous CMOS design? Martin at Cal Tech, Ginosar at Technion,
and I have all built CMOS circuits using Async design instead of clocked.
My results seem to agree with thiers, in that the circuits run over a wide
voltage range. Mine run between 0.70 volts and 5.5 volts (as high as my
tester goes). Of course, there is a greater than 10x performance difference.

Still, at less than 1.0 volts, they aren't using much power.
