“The processing of large amounts of data requires a high energy efficiency and fast processing time for high-performance computing systems. However, conventional von Neumann computing systems have ...

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 ...

Scanning electron microscope imagery shows the magnetic "islands" of a new chip design. The islands are impervious to power loss. View Slideshow For the first time, researchers have created a working ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Organic semiconductors have long held promise for enabling deformable electronic devices that can be manufactured at low cost and high volumes using printing techniques. However, ...

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 ...

A flip-flop is one of the most basic digital electronic circuits. It can most easily be built from just two transistors, although they can and have been built out of vacuum tubes, NAND and NOR gates, ...
