Logic gates are the bricks and mortar of digital electronics, implementing a logical operation on one or more binary inputs to produce a single output. These operations are what make all computations ...

Biocomputing—it’s not just for Star Trek Borgs anymore! Scientists at Johns Hopkins have engineered cells that behave like AND and OR Boolean logic gates, taking an important step toward using living ...

A new technical paper titled “Non-Traditional Design of Dynamic Logics using FDSOI for Ultra-Efficient Computing” was published by researchers at University of Stuttgart, UC Berkeley, Indian Institute ...

In many ways, life is like a computer. An organism's genome is the software that tells the cellular and molecular machinery -- the hardware -- what to do. But instead of electronic circuitry, life ...

Living cells make decisions based on information processing genetic programmes. Many of these programmes execute digital functions 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. The capability to build synthetic digital systems in ...

YouTuber Steve Mould has created a great demonstration of computer logic gates using water, tubes, and 3D printed components. This innovative approach provides a tangible and visual way to understand ...

You can use the circuit described in this DesignIdea to estimate voltages across 10- to 100-MΩresistances. It also works for reverse-biased diodes. The common CMOS gates in Figure 1 have aninput ...

I've covered tons of different scientific applications you can run on your computer to do rather complex calculations, but so far, I've not really given much thought to the hardware on which this ...

Before we plunge headfirst into the fray with gusto and abandon (and aplomb, of course), let’s remind and reassure ourselves that—although the following discussions focus on the devices and ...
