Only eight lithography masks to create a low-power custom logic chips, compared with 20+ for CMOS, is the claim of Nottingham-based fabless chip start-up ‘Search For The Next’ (SFN). As such, ...

(I also posted this in Other Hardware, 'cause I didn't know where it would get the best response.)<BR><BR>I'm writing a review of some ideas that have been proposed for nano-scale computing ...

Sometimes, the parts list says it all. 777 transistors, 1223 resistors, 136 LEDs, 455 crimp connectors, 41 protoboards and 500 grams of solder. That’s what went into this transistor logic clock build.

The circuitry we rely on today comes from what could be considered a top-down approach, with the wiring completely laid out before it's etched into silicon. With the advent of nanotechnology, however, ...

As we have observed in previous parts of this course, in a digital system, signals can take on only two values: high or low. These values are often represented by two voltage levels. The most used ...

Invigorating the idea of computers based on fluids instead of silicon, researchers have shown how computational logic operations could be performed in a liquid medium by simulating the trapping of ...

Invigorating the idea of computers based on fluids instead of silicon, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have shown how computational logic operations could be ...

Researchers in Sweden have created electronic circuits and devices that are integrated within living plant material. The team introduced a conductive polymer into the vascular system of plants, which ...
