Wondering about the uses for CAD? Computer-aided design software has shaped the evolution of many fields, allowing designers to create both 2D or 3D plans and prototypes of systems, spaces and objects ...

Two new studies suggest optical computing, which uses light to process data, is much closer to becoming a faster, more energy-efficient alternative to conventional systems. One study used an optical ...

A melding of biology and computer science is underway at the University of Manchester as researchers demonstrate a new super-fast computer that uses DNA molecules to ‘grow’. DNA might be known as the ...
