The constant scaling of AI applications and other digital technologies across industries is beginning to tax the energy grid due to its intensive energy consumption. Digital computing's energy and ...

While digital computers have become entrenched in our daily lives, a new analog quantum computer offers a stark contrast in both its design and capabilities. A team of physicists from Stanford ...

Engineers have reached a theoretical limit for efficiently converting analog data into digital bits in an emerging computer technology. The future of computing may be analog. The digital design of our ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The pursuit of faster and more efficient computing has been a driving force in technological progress for decades. As the demand for computational power continues to grow, ...

When the phrase ‘analog to digital conversion’ is used, we tend to assume that the conversion is taking something continuous like sound or video and making it discrete so that digital computers can ...

Q: My Boston Acoustics BA735 digital speakers came with a previous computer, but I’d like to connect them to my MacBook Pro. The speakers and the Mac both use the same 3.5-millimeter jack system, but ...

My first job out of college was testing and debugging control loading systems on flight simulators for 747 and the “new” 767 airliners. In the late 1970s, the control loop that simulated the feel of ...

People often fixate on quantum computing as a hardware technology, a new kind of transistor, but it may make sense to be less literal, less clinical, and a bit more broad-minded. That is the premise ...

A new transceiver invented by electrical engineers at the University of California, Irvine boosts radio frequencies into 140-gigahertz territory, unlocking data speeds that rival those of physical ...
