An earlier type of ASIC chip that was partially finished with rows of unconnected transistors and resistors. The chip was completed by designing and adhering the top metal layers that provided the ...

It may seem a paradox, but in the future tiny computers may dump electronics and return to their mechanical roots. At the macroscale, mechanical computers are fussy and slow, but when your area is ...

Spin doctors: Menno Veldhorst and Andrew Dzurak with their CNOT gate The first quantum-logic device made from silicon has been unveiled by researchers in Australia and Japan. Their controlled-not ...

A study on logic gates titled "Light-field control of real and virtual charge carriers" has been published in the journal Nature. Researchers have developed a new kind of logic gate, the fundamental ...

A logic gate is an electronic component (or set of them) that performs a logic operation, in which the binary values 0 and 1 are represented with two different voltage values, as seen in the previous ...

We’ve always been fascinated at the number of ways logic gates can spring into being. Sure, we think of logic gates carrying electrons, but there are so many other mechanical means to do the same ...

Multiplying two analog signals involves the use of analog multipliers, usually implemented by using log and antilog circuit blocks or the Gilbert cell. Today, the most common technique used to ...
