Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

The world’s energy demand is rising, and NREL’s ULIS power module could help meet it. Demand for energy worldwide is climbing rapidly, driven in part by power hungry data centers that support ...

Over the years there have been a few CPUs designed to directly run a high-level programming language, the most common ...

Interposers are effectively platforms on which multiple components can be assembled — like a micro-sized PCB. The primary material today is silicon, and their sizes, even when built on older process ...

Researchers are learning to flip light on and off one particle at a time, turning single photons into a controllable resource ...

While previous p-bit proposals included an analog component and DAC, the new research offers an all-digital p-bit design. “The reliance on analog signals was holding back progress,” said Shunsuke ...

More advanced computers are at the top of many a wish list, and mushrooms, with their uniquely brain-like structures, just ...

On Oct. 3, 1950, three scientists at Bell Labs in New Jersey received a U.S. patent for what would become one of the most important inventions of the 20th century — the transistor. John Bardeen, ...

This project provides a discrete transistor implementation of a multi-tone electronic siren, offering an easy-to-build and low-cost solution that replicates alarm effects found in classic two-timer ...

Leaders from industries all over the world are discussing the transformative benefits that quantum computers could deliver. There are multiple candidates for scalable quantum computing platforms, ...

Sensors monitoring mechanical and biological systems must often scavenge power from the thing being sensed. The oscillator circuits shown here let you operate those sensors. Sensor circuits that ...

In view of the growing volume of data, there is a notable research focus on hardware that offers high computational performance with low power consumption. Notably, neuromorphic computing, ...
