A prototype chip has quadruple the circuitry and double the performance of today's cutting-edge chips. This kind of work keeping Moore's Law ticking hastens the day your smartwatch has a lot more ...

Technologists have long known about silicon's limitations as principal ingredient in microchips. It just so happens they've just been really good at coming up with workarounds. Still, as chipmakers ...

(Phys.org)—A team of scientists from several research centers in South Korea, has succeeded in building a logic circuit that is based on switchable magnetism, rather than electronics. They describe ...

Future computers could run on lab-grown circuits thousands of times thinner than a human hair and using a fraction of the energy required to power silicon chips. Our team tests, rates, and reviews ...

For the average consumer, the life cycle of a computer starts when the system is unboxed and plugged in and ends when it is time for an upgrade. However, a computer’s true life cycle begins from the ...

They have linked two tiny structures – quantum dots – in such a way that is essential for the creation of semiconductor-based quantum computers, which could be faster and provide more memory than ...

Imagine a computer thinner than a piece of tape. That might seem far-fetched, but engineers from the University of Illinois have created a form of electronics that's so thin and flexible it can be ...

In case you hadn't noticed, computers are hot—literally. A laptop can pump out thigh-baking heat, and data centers consume an estimated 200 terawatt-hours every year, comparable to the energy ...

Stimulated by the search for perfection in the electronics industry, Ulian began composing ornate mandalas from pieces of circuitry. “I wanted to show what has been hidden from the eyes of the ...
