Biological systems have caught the attention of computer scientists, who have been turning everything from RNA molecules to entire bacterial colonies into logic gates. So far, however, these systems ...

Oscillators, also called astable multivibrators, are electronic devices that generate a periodic signal. They are employed in a large number of applications such as clocks, oscillophones, musical ...

Researchers from McMaster University and the University of Pittsburgh have created the first functionally complete logic gate—a NAND gate (short for "NOT AND")—in a soft material using only beams of ...

This is going to be a column that’s divided into three sections. It’s based on a question that a student posed in the EEWeb forums, and he also sent it directly to yours truly. The core of this ...

We’ve always been fascinated at the number of ways logic gates can spring into being. Sure, we think of logic gates carrying electrons, but there are so many other mechanical means to do the same ...

A chip that contains one logic gate or a small number of logic gates. Although thousands of gates are routinely placed on a single chip, discrete logic chips with only one or two gates are also ...
