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 now developed the fastest logic gates ever created, by zapping graphene and gold with laser pulses. The new logic gates are a million times faster than those in existing computers ...

As Moore's Law begins to slow, the search is on for new ways to keep the exponential rise in processing speeds going. New research suggests that an exotic approach known as "lightwave electronics" ...

Fastest logic gates ever made could make computers 1,000,000x faster Researchers have demonstrated the previously theoretical lightwave electronics in new logic gates operating at femtosecond ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Science; DOI 10.29026/oes.2022.220010 considers optical logic gates in future computers.

Logic gates can be used for undemanding workloads including controlling the speed of a motor, and MIT researchers have proven that for such simple electronics, usage of 3D printing and a ...

Synthetic biology researchers have demonstrated a new method for digital information processing in living cells, analogous to the logic gates used in electric circuits. The circuits are the ...
