A hybrid computer uses rotating mechanical beams for memory and electrical contacts for logic, performing reprogrammable computation through physical motion in environments where conventional ...

A logic gate is an electronic component (or set of them) that performs a logic operation, in which the binary values 0 and 1 are represented with two different voltage values, as seen in the previous ...

Transistors wired in series and parallel patterns make up "gates," which accept binary input (0 = no pulse; 1 = pulse) and generate binary output. Although AND requires both inputs to be 1 in order to ...

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 ...

IO libraries and interface IPs are an important part of any integrated circuit design that needs to communicate with the outside world or other integrated circuits. Interface IPs are the literal ...

Nextbigfuture has covered the nanomechanical computer design created by Ralph Merkle, Robert Freitas, Tad Hogg, Thomas E. Moore, Matthew S. Moses and James Ryley several times. A team from UCLA and ...

The digital world offers many advantages over its analog relatives, the use of boolean logic among them. Some of the functions, like NOT, OR, and AND are fairly straightforward and line up nicely with ...

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 ...
