Analog computers are systems that perform computations by manipulating physical quantities such as electrical current, that ...

Analog and digital signals are used to transmit information, such as audio or video, via electric signals. The main difference between the two is that in analog technology, information is translated ...

Researchers from Peking University say their resistive random-access memory chip may be capable of speeds 1,000 faster than ...

All sensors are analog in nature, even an on/off switch, but how they work and how to get accurate information with the ...

Synthetic biology has already led to several notable firsts — from the construction of switches, oscillators and feed-forward networks to the creation of gene regulatory circuits that can carry out ...

* Reader weighs in on analog phone lines Last week we talked about the need for supporting traditional modems, fax, and TTY/TDD devices over a VoIP network. Even though the idea of taking digital ...

Engineers have reached a theoretical limit for efficiently converting analog data into digital bits in an emerging computer technology. The future of computing may be analog. The digital design of our ...

Just as its name implies, a floating-gate transistor’s driving terminal is electrically isolated from the rest of the device—that is, floating—so there is no direct internal dc path from the input ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- MIT biological engineers have devised a way to record complex histories in the DNA of human cells, allowing them to retrieve "memories" of past events, such as inflammation, by ...

We report that back-propagating action potentials (bAPs) are not simply digital feedback signals in dendrites but also carry analogue information about the overall state of neurons. Analogue ...

Biological engineers have devised a way to record complex histories in the DNA of human cells, allowing them to store and retrieve memories of past events. This system could help scientists study how ...
