A computer that follows a set of software instructions, which is essentially every computer. A general-purpose computer can perform any data processing operation that the instructions in a program ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The pursuit of faster and more efficient computing has been a driving force in technological progress for decades. As the demand for computational power continues to grow, ...

Excuse me a moment—I am going to be bombastic, over excited, and possibly annoying. The race is run, and we have a winner in the future of quantum computing. IBM, Google, and everyone else can turn in ...

Although it isn’t very real-world practical, researchers at Cal Tech have produced a DNA-based programmable computer. Spectrum reports that the system executes programs using a set of instructions ...

The memristor array chip plugs into a custom computer chip, forming the first programmable memristor computer. The team demonstrated that it could run three standard types of machine learning ...

Scientists have developed a number of quantum computing systems that use ions or electrons as bits of data; mathematical "operations" can be performed on them with beams of light or electrical pulses.

Computer scientists at UC Davis, Maynooth University and Caltech have created DNA molecules that can self-assemble by carrying out a Boolean logic computation. Highlighted in green is the ...

Although it isn’t very real-world practical, researchers at Cal Tech have produced a DNA-based programmable computer. Spectrum reports that the system executes programs using a set of instructions ...

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are flexibly programmable computer chips that are considered very secure components in many applications. Scientists have now discovered that a critical ...

Today we program computers we live with. Tomorrow we program the whole environment we live in. The goal of Programmable Reality Lab is to make our whole living environment dynamic, interactive, and ...
