A technical paper titled “The RGATE: an 8-in-1 Polymorphic Logic Gate Built from Reconfigurable Field Effect Transistors” was published by researchers at TU Dresden and NaMLab. “We present the ...

One of the hardest things about studying electricity, and by extension electronics, is that you generally can’t touch or see anything directly, and if you can you’re generally having a pretty bad day.

The fun part about logic gates is that there are so many ways to make them, with each approach having its own advantages and disadvantages. Although these days transistor-transistor logic (TTL) is the ...

Before we plunge headfirst into the fray with gusto and abandon (and aplomb, of course), let’s remind and reassure ourselves that—although the following discussions focus on the devices and ...

A new technical paper titled “Experimental Verification and Evaluation of Non-Stateful Logic Gates in Resistive RAM” was published by researchers at RWTH Aachen University and Forschungszentrum Jülich ...

Oscillators, also called astable multivibrators, are electronic devices that generate a periodic signal. They are employed in a large number of applications such as clocks, oscillophones, musical ...

Why it matters: For decades, scientists have dreamed of building computer chips that use light instead of electricity to process information. While our current silicon chips are incredibly fast, ...

A soft material performs NAND logic with visible light, showing a path toward materials that process information without conventional electronic circuitry. “This project has been part of my scientific ...

Forward-looking: Semiconductors are essential for today's electronics, providing computational capabilities and the ability to control electric signals. They are also highly complex and costly, so ...
