Only eight lithography masks to create a low-power custom logic chips, compared with 20+ for CMOS, is the claim of Nottingham-based fabless chip start-up ‘Search For The Next’ (SFN). As such, ...

Data doesn’t have to travel as far or waste as much energy when the memory and logic components are closer together.

(I also posted this in Other Hardware, 'cause I didn't know where it would get the best response.)<BR><BR>I'm writing a review of some ideas that have been proposed for nano-scale computing ...

University of Houston have created an elastic semiconductor with 8.57cm2/Vs charge carrier mobility, and then made transistors, logic and a sensor array from it. Carrier mobility is largely retained ...

As we have observed in previous parts of this course, in a digital system, signals can take on only two values: high or low. These values are often represented by two voltage levels. The most used ...

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 ...

Sometimes, the parts list says it all. 777 transistors, 1223 resistors, 136 LEDs, 455 crimp connectors, 41 protoboards and 500 grams of solder. That’s what went into this transistor logic clock build.

While working on recreating an “ancient” (read: 60-year-old) logic circuit type known as resistor-transistor logic, [Tim] stumbled across a circuit with an unexpected oscillation. The oscillation ...

THE electron, one of the fundamental particles of nature, carries an electric charge. But it also possesses a second property, called spin. Charge is responsible for electricity, while spin underlies ...
