Google and others have developed smart clothing with built-in integrated circuits, but what if the textile itself formed the circuit? That's the idea behind The Embroidered Computer, an interactive ...

What are virtual circuits (VCs)? Why VCs are better than quantum computing. How chatbots can help in the design of VCs. Quantum computing promises to deliver impressive computing performance for ...

Researchers at Plymouth University have built a musical bio-computer. It contains an analogue computing circuit with components grown from a slime mould. When electrical impulses are sent to the mould ...

Just as a falling apple spurred Isaac Newton's discovery of gravity, toppling dominoes have inspired researchers to build the world's smallest computer circuits. Scientists at IBM's Almaden Research ...

Scientists have announced a significant breakthrough toward developing DNA-based electrical circuits. Molecular electronics, which uses molecules as building blocks for the fabrication of electronic ...

Researchers at PARC and Thinfilm Electronics have finally managed to print -- as in, using a printer that is similar to the one attached to your computer -- a computer circuit consisting of ...

In 2023, about 4.4% (176 terawatt-hours) of total energy consumption in the United States was by data centers that are essential for processing large quantities of information. Of that 176 TWh, ...

A team of European physicists has developed an integrated circuit that can build itself. The work, appearing in this week's Nature 1, is an important step towards its ultimate goal — a self-assembling ...

Teenagers swear they study better with music blaring in the background, though parents may disagree. Now engineers have made digital circuits work better in “noisy” environments too. For circuits, the ...
