Optical logical operations have sparked major interest in the past decades since it can enable many applications, particularly those involving high-throughput and on-the-fly data processing such as ...

Back in 2001, an obscure group of theoretical physicists proved a remarkable result. They showed that it was possible to build a quantum computer out of ordinary optical components, such as mirrors, ...

The demand is explosively increasing for computers that can quickly calculate and process large amounts of information recently, as artificial intelligence, self-driving cars, drones, and metaverse ...

In magnetic materials with antisymmetric exchange interactions, novel particle-like spin textures called magnetic skyrmions can appear and be manipulated by electrons. First observed in 2009, they ...

Molecules capable of basic logic operations have been developed that could serve as tiny ID tags for identifying individual cells or nano-devices. The technique, called molecular computational ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Imagine a material that doesn’t just respond to one stimulus, like heat or light, but can sense multiple environmental triggers and adjust its behavior accordingly. Picture this ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...
