A logic gate is an electronic component (or set of them) that performs a logic operation, in which the binary values 0 and 1 are represented with two different voltage values, as seen in the previous ...

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 ...

Imperial College scientists have demonstrated digital circuits made from bacteria and DNA. They are the most advanced biological logic gates ever created, claims the university. “We have demonstrated ...

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.

Active electronics — components that can control electrical signals — usually contain semiconductor devices that receive, store, and process information. These components, which must be made in a ...

Towards ultrafast logic gates (Courtesy: University of Rochester illustration / Michael Osadciw) The first logic gate to operate at femtosecond timescales could help usher in an era of information ...

Synplicity has developed synthesis technology for Asics and FPGAs that allows it to create circuits with up to two million gates of logic in one pass. Called multipoint synthesis, the technique allows ...

In previous installments, we examined the different types of logic gates in detail, exploring their theoretical and practical applications. In this next part, we will dive into the practice of ...
