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 ...

Researchers have reverse-engineered a cellular signal processing system and used it like a logic gate -- a simple computer -- to better understand what causes specific cells to migrate. Cancer cells ...

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 ...

Oscillators, also called astable multivibrators, are electronic devices that generate a periodic signal. They are employed in a large number of applications such as clocks, oscillophones, musical ...

Using digital logic gates such as AND, OR, XOR, NOT, NAND, NOR, and XNOR and other related logic functions is often the foundation for defining the relationship between electrical signals and how they ...

Gavin has been freelance guide-writing since 2020, and guide-writing in general since 2015. He began full-game achievement walkthroughs on TrueAchievements, and has since transitioned to shorter ...

The ability for cells to control gene expression in response to changing conditions is crucial for their survival. People spend their entire careers teasing apart these mechanisms, many of which are ...

As you probably know, processors – and most other digital technology – are made up of transistors. The simplest way to think of a transistor is as a controllable switch with three pins. When the gate ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Science; DOI 10.29026/oes.2022.220010 considers optical logic gates in future computers. If you are reading this on your smartphone, its CPU (central processing ...

One super smart Cities: Skylines player has found a new way to showcase the complex city management game's full potential. It's been done in Minecraft, it's been done in Factorio, and now someone has ...
