Artificial intelligence is getting more powerful—but it's also racking up a massive energy bill. Some estimate that one ...

Today, most of what we think of as a computer uses digital technology. But that wasn’t always the case. From slide rules to mechanical fire solution computers to electronic analog computers, there ...

A team of engineers has proven that their analog computing device, called a memristor, can complete complex, scientific computing tasks while bypassing the limitations of digital computing. A team of ...

As requested by readers, editor Andy Turudic demonstrates that it’s child’s play to set up an Analog Computer to compute a Lorenz Attractor. Anabrid’s THAT Analog Computer provides a flexible, ...

With the demands of modern computing, from video editing, streaming, and gaming, many of us will turn to a monitoring system of some point to keep tabs on CPU usage, temperatures, memory, and other ...

While digital computers have become entrenched in our daily lives, a new analog quantum computer offers a stark contrast in both its design and capabilities. A team of physicists from Stanford ...

In the first of three parts, Andy hypothesizes that the K2-W Analog Computer Op Amp’s design has some unrevealed mad science in its input-stage design. 1. K2-W Op Amp schematic from Bob Pease’s ...

An E6B flight computer is a vital pilot's tool designed for calculating various flight parameters, including groundspeed, fuel burn, time en route, and density altitude, by aligning values on its ...

Figured I'd have a shot of fixing something getting ideas from all the people who visit Ars At the parish I used to work at (and still help out at), there's a weekly bingo. In 1 room, there was an ...

An exemplar photograph of an integrated chip containing memristor crossbar arrays of various sizes made at UMass Amherst. (Image taken by Can Li). AMHERST, Mass. – A team of researchers including ...
