“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 ...

Recall that a transistor is an electrically-controlled switch. Let’s explore that in a little more detail. We’ll look at simplified views of transistors which are at the heart of all logic and ...

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 ...

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 ...
