Computer chips with superconducting circuits -- circuits with zero electrical resistance -- would be 50 to 100 times as energy-efficient as today's chips, an attractive trait given the increasing ...

Scientists have long wanted to build motors, transistors and switches at the molecular level with hopes of one day being able to help fight diseases or do amazing mini-feats of engineering. A group of ...

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 ...

Any robot that moves needs actuators—motors that move parts of the robot around. While robot actuators have been around since the dawn of machines, they have some issues. For one, it is very difficult ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a way to produce soft, flexible and stretchy electronic circuits and radio antennas by hand, simply by writing on specially designed sheets of material. This technique could ...

How can you take a holistic look at computing from the top down? Computer science and engineering is the answer. As the trend toward globalization connects people in every part of the world, digital ...
