Researchers have invented a new organic polymer tunnel diode -- an electronic component that could one day lead to plastic computer memory and plastic logic circuits on computer chips. Today ...

Optical computing and logic circuits represent a transformative approach to information processing, utilising light rather than electrons to execute computational tasks.

Modern digital logic, which is used in computers and cell phones, is based on Boolean algebra implemented in semiconductor switch-based circuits. It uses zeroes and ones for encoding and processing ...

Using techniques like logic synthesis, where whole high-level components can be laid down like a memory cache, the software generates circuits in the most efficient way possible.

The circuits successfully performed the sum-of-product operation at 2.8 kHz. The full potential of memristors was demonstrated when the devices were made to actively re-program themselves.

Engineers have created genetic circuits in bacterial cells that not only perform logic functions, but also remember the results, which are encoded in the cell's DNA and passed on for dozens of ...

Multiple droplets of a magnetic fluid have been used to create all of the fundamental logic circuits within a computer. Created by researchers in the US, the circuits are made by having the ...

Unlike reconfigurable circuits which already exist today, and are used, for example, in prototyping, a chaotic computer, Dr Ditto says, could be reconfigured so rapidly that it could perform ...

George Boole would be 200 years old today. And, had he lived, he would have seen the amazing influence of his mathematical work on today's computer-reliant society. Boole become a renowned ...
