Logic gates are the bricks and mortar of digital electronics, implementing a logical operation on one or more binary inputs to produce a single output. These operations are what make all computations ...

It may seem a paradox, but in the future tiny computers may dump electronics and return to their mechanical roots. At the macroscale, mechanical computers are fussy and slow, but when your area is ...

This is going to be a column that’s divided into three sections. It’s based on a question that a student posed in the EEWeb forums, and he also sent it directly to yours truly. The core of this ...

In this paper, the authors aim at reducing power and energy dissipation in Transmission Gate Logic (TGL) multiplexer CMOS circuits comprise of reducing the power supply voltages, power supply current ...

The Boolean logic gates AND, OR and NOT comprise transistors, which are on/off switches wired together. Gates have one or two inputs but only one output, and they are wired in patterns that make up ...

A chip that contains one logic gate or a small number of logic gates. Although thousands of gates are routinely placed on a single chip, discrete logic chips with only one or two gates are also ...

Logic gates are the fundamental building blocks of computers, and researchers at the University of Rochester have now developed the fastest ones ever created. By zapping graphene and gold with laser ...

As Moore's Law begins to slow, the search is on for new ways to keep the exponential rise in processing speeds going. New research suggests that an exotic approach known as "lightwave electronics" ...

New artificial proteins have been created to function as molecular logic gates. Like their electronic counterparts in computers, these biochemical tools can be used to program the behavior of complex ...
