Advancing graphene for post-silicon computer logic Date: September 3, 2013 Source: University of California - Riverside Summary: Scientists have solved a problem that previously presented a ...

Large-scale logic circuits can be constructed from the gates by simple cascading strategies. In particular, we have demonstrated a fast and compact logic circuit that computes the square-root function ...

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 ...

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 ...

Since 1972, scientists have known there are four basic circuit components, but if you've spent any time in an electrical engineering classroom, you probably only have experience with three ...

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 ...

DNA programmers will now be able to do the same, designing their circuits in high-level logic without worrying about the underlying molecules.

Diagram of the AND logic gate, and (right) the real device. The ion blocker isolates the electrical signals in rectangles one and two For all its sophistication and power, your brain is built from ...
