A team of physicists at the University of Toronto (U of T) have taken a step toward making the essential building block of quantum computers out of pure light. Their advance, described in a... Read more
The development is significant because switching devices are at the heart of computing and communications technologies. By relentlessly miniaturizing a pre-World War II computer technology,... Read more
Chemists from North Carolina State Univ. have performed a DNA-based logic-gate operation within a human cell. The research may pave the way to more complicated computations in live cells, as... Read more
The team calls its biological transistor the “transcriptor.” When Charles Babbage prototyped the first computing machine in the 19th century, he imagined using mechanical gears and lat... Read more
The number of tasks they could undertake is limited only by evolution and human ingenuity. The circuit is designed to act as the controller in synthetic bacteria that monitor and modify thei... Read more
The chemical chip provides new opportunities to control and regulate the signal paths of cells in the human body. While the silicon chips found in the electronic devices that we rely... Read more
