Google and others have developed smart clothing with built-in integrated circuits, but what if the textile itself formed the circuit? That's the idea behind The Embroidered Computer, an interactive ...

What are virtual circuits (VCs)? Why VCs are better than quantum computing. How chatbots can help in the design of VCs. Quantum computing promises to deliver impressive computing performance for ...

In 2023, about 4.4% (176 terawatt-hours) of total energy consumption in the United States was by data centers that are essential for processing large quantities of information. Of that 176 TWh, ...

Arithmetic circuits are checking the dependency of output and input at any instant. The types of this circuit tell the users about its various features and use. In combinational circuit, there is no ...

Recently, scientists have been able to explore gene circuitry in individual cells using methods that suppress particular genes and measure the impact on the expression of other genes. These methods, ...

Researchers have invented a new organic polymer tunnel diode -- an electronic component that could one day lead to plastic computer memory and plastic logic circuits on computer chips. Today, computer ...

One of the near-term (but somewhat irrelevant) goals of quantum computing is something called quantum supremacy. Quantum supremacy is not, sadly, a cage fight between proponents of competing ...

Major obstacle removed for mass production of circuits ten times smaller than current mass production. As they eliminate tiny air bubbles that form when liquid droplets are molded into intricate ...

Researchers at IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., have created the world's first logic-performing computer circuit within a single molecule. Such circuits may someday lead to ...

Scientists have long wanted to build motors, transistors and switches at the molecular level with hopes of one day being able to help fight diseases or do amazing mini-feats of engineering. A group of ...
