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: capacitor, ...

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 ...

The field of all‐optical logic circuits has garnered significant attention in recent years, particularly with the integration of micro‐ring resonators to process information entirely via light. These ...

Molecular-scale circuits that link together tiny transistors, wires, and switches to carry out basic computing operations were named this year's top scientific achievement by the journal Science and ...

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 ...

MIT Press recently published Fundamental Proof Methods in Computer Science, a book by Konstantine Arkoudas and David Musser, a professor emeritus of computer science at the Rensselaer Polytechnic ...

He was the man who saw the world in 1s and 0s — long before anyone imagined the digital revolution. Claude Shannon, a quiet ...
