In a collaboration between scientists from Physics and Chemistry at the University of Bayreuth and Physical Chemistry at the University of Melbourne, it has now been possible to realize optically ...

Researchers at Politecnico di Milano and CNR-IFN have demonstrated all-optical logic operations in a tungsten disulfide (WS₂) monolayer at rates as high as 10 terahertz, according to a study published ...

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 ...

(Phys.org) —The integrated circuits in virtually every computer today are built exclusively from transistors. But as researchers are constantly trying to improve the density of circuits on a chip, ...

A soft material performs NAND logic with visible light, showing a path toward materials that process information without conventional electronic circuitry. “This project has been part of my scientific ...

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 ...

DNA is often referred to as the building block of life. Now scientists from Imperial College London have demonstrated that DNA (and bacteria) can be used to create the fundamental building blocks of a ...

Researchers find that magnetic skyrmions can behave like chiral fluids, which may be harnessed for fluidic logic in nanofabricated devices. (Nanowerk News) In magnetic materials with antisymmetric ...

The previous article examined the concept of logic gates. They can be made from discrete and active electronic components, although today logic gates are available within integrated circuits. In this ...
