Today, most of what we think of as a computer uses digital technology. But that wasn’t always the case. From slide rules to mechanical fire solution computers to electronic analog computers, there ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The pursuit of faster and more efficient computing has been a driving force in technological progress for decades. As the demand for computational power continues to grow, ...

The digital television (DTV) transition refers to the switch from analog to digital broadcast television. When the DTV transition is completed on February 17, 2009, all U.S. full-power TV stations ...

Although computers are overwhelmingly digital today, there’s a good point to be made that analog computers are the more efficient approach for specific applications. The authors behind a recent paper ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded Professor Jie Gu and co-PIs from the University of Minnesota and Duke University up to $3.8 million through the Scalable Analog Neural-networks ...

The researchers believe this new device can be scaled up to solve specific problems that are too complex for digital computers to solve, such as simulating room-temperature superconductors. Physicists ...

Explore the resurgence of analog computing and its potential impact on AI and our daily lives. This video examines how analog technology, once overshadowed by digital systems, is regaining relevance ...

I’ve recently published Design Ideas (DIs) showing circuits for linear PWM programming of standard bucking-type regulators in applications requiring an output span that can swing below the regulator’s ...

People often fixate on quantum computing as a hardware technology, a new kind of transistor, but it may make sense to be less literal, less clinical, and a bit more broad-minded. That is the premise ...

Kay McNulty Mauchly Antonelli is one of the six original programmers of the ENIAC, the first general-purpose electronic digital computer. Kathleen McNulty was born on 12 February 1921 in the ...
