One of the first things we learn about computers is the concept of binary ones and zeroes. When we dig into implementation of digital logic, we start to learn about voltages, and currents, and other ...

We’ve often said you can make a logic gate out of darn near anything. [The Action Lab] agrees and just released a video showing how he made some logic gates from chains and gears. Along the way, he ...

THE HISTORY Of computers is often told as a history of objects, from the abacus to the Babbage engine up through the code-breaking machines of World War II. In fact, it is better understood as a ...

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote an article about a digital and analog circuit simulator called ksimus. One of my readers asked what the difference was between ksimus and ktechlab so I thought I'd take ...

When Yvonne Chen published the first paper 1 on a particular immune cell engineered to target either of two protein fragments on a cancer cell, several colleagues tried to discourage her from ...

DNA is often referred to as the building block of life. Now scientists from Imperial College London have demonstrated that DNA (and bacteria) can be used to create the fundamental building blocks of a ...

A complete quantum computer (QC), fulfilling the mission set forth for it by scientists and engineers, and realizing the ingenious vision of Dr. Richard Feynman [PDF], has yet to be constructed. There ...

It’s impossible to treat a patient effectively without knowing what’s wrong. Published this month in the American Journal for Human Genetics, computational biologist Dr. Mark Yandell reports a novel ...

Biological systems have caught the attention of computer scientists, who have been turning everything from RNA molecules to entire bacterial colonies into logic gates. So far, however, these systems ...

Today, iBUYPOWER and Computer Logic Gaming (CLG) have teamed up to launch several new custom-designed, high-performance gaming systems that are sure to give any gamer the advantage needed when ...
