In the early days of the semiconductor industry, integrated circuits were designed by one or two engineers with slide-rules, hand-drawn on paper, and then given to a lithographer to print onto silicon ...

Don’t get me wrong. Like most people, there’s nothing I enjoy more than solving a long, involved math problem by hand. But, sometimes, a few pages of algebraic scratches on paper is just a means to an ...

Your smartphone and laptop are made of electronic circuits. Genetic circuits, modelled on the electronic ones, are human-designed combinations of genetic components that interact to produce one or ...

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has developed a new Hardware Verification course that introduces students to the principles and practices used by verification engineers in ...

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 ...

Fifth-year applied physics Ph.D. candidate Ben Bartlett, postdoctoral scholar Avik Dutt and electrical engineering professor Shanhui Fan proposed a new computer hardware design in November that could, ...

There are some weird ways people are using AI, and there are some ways of using it that make complete sense. In the latter case, it was only a matter of time before AI systems began to play a role in ...

Electrical and electronic circuits are around us. From our mobile phones to security systems, electronic circuits are everywhere. Designing a circuit follows a step-by-step procedure. Most of the time ...

Quantum computers could one day blow boring old classical computers out of the water, but so far their complexity limits their usefulness. Engineers at Stanford have now demonstrated a new relatively ...

The circuit diagram illustrates the creation of a plain microphone setup using two resistors to produce an aggregate amplifier, designed for use in computers. A microphone, originally created by Emile ...
