Since 1972, scientists have known there are four basic circuit components, but if you've spent any time in an electrical engineering classroom, you probably only have experience with three: capacitor, ...

In a proof-of-concept study, researchers have created self-assembled, protein-based circuits that can perform simple logic functions. The work demonstrates that it is possible to create stable digital ...

Electric-field-assisted assembly enables scalable, lithography-free fabrication of logic circuits using 2D semiconductors. It ...

Fig 1. A typical CMOS input circuit comprises a “P” and “N” transistor. One is fully “on” for logic high, and the other is “on” for a logic low. Fig 2. When a CMOS input pin is at logic high or low ...

Scientists have succeeded in developing logic circuits equipped with diamond-based MOSFETs (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors) at two different operation modes. This achievement is a ...

Multiple droplets of a magnetic fluid have been used to create all of the fundamental logic circuits within a computer. Created by researchers in the US, the circuits are made by having the ...

Who would have thought that a circuit comprising only two 2-input NAND gates could be so complicated (or, should we say, “interesting”)? Up to this point (click here to see my earlier columns), the ...

Perhaps our future overlords won’t be made up of electrical circuits after all but will instead be soft-bodied like ourselves. However, their design will have its origins in electrical analogues, as ...
