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, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a model-based study of an SET (single-electron-transistor) logic gate family for synthesizing binary and MV (multiple-valued) logic circuits. The use of SETs combined ...

Digital electronics rely on logic gates to perform operations. While modern integrated circuits (ICs) contain millions or billions of transistors packed into a small chip, understanding the ...

Trawling classified ads or sites like Craigslist for interesting hardware is a pastime enjoyed by many a hacker. At a minimum, you can find good deals on used tools and equipment. But if you’re very ...

Researchers in Italy have created the first integrated circuit to combine two transistors made from the “wonder material” graphene. By adapting a technique used to fabricate silicon transistors the ...

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 ...

Abstract: An elemental circuit for single-electron pass-transistor logic is fabricated on a silicon-on-insulator substrate. The circuit consists of two nearly-identical single-electron transistors, ...

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 ...

A couple years back we covered a very impressive transistor logic clock which was laid out so an observer could watch all of the counters doing their thing, complete with gratuitous blinkenlights. It ...
