Businesses should expect to upgrade computer equipment on a regular basis; as companies expand, so do their processing and data needs, and hardware continues to evolve at a breakneck pace.

A College of Science and Engineering professor and graduate students developed a new variant of a superconducting diode, a key component in most computers, according to a University of Minnesota press ...

A computer is a complex machine. While most of it works on a microscopic level, it certainly has recognizable macroscopic components that contribute to its uses. A computer can be used to do just ...

A computer component that uses vibrations rather than electrons could approach the physical lower limit for energy use when processing and sending information. The minimum amount of energy needed for ...

Engineers have developed fully recyclable printed electronics. By demonstrating a crucial and relatively complex computer component -- the transistor -- created with three carbon-based inks, the ...

Computers could mimic neural networks in the brain -- and be much more energy efficient -- with a new computer component that mimics how the brain works by acting like a synaptic cell. It's called an ...
