It may seem a paradox, but in the future tiny computers may dump electronics and return to their mechanical roots. At the macroscale, mechanical computers are fussy and slow, but when your area is ...
YouTuber Steve Mould has created a great demonstration of computer logic gates using water, tubes, and 3D printed components. This innovative approach provides a tangible and visual way to understand ...
Researchers have reverse-engineered a cellular signal processing system and used it like a logic gate -- a simple computer -- to better understand what causes specific cells to migrate. Cancer cells ...
A logic gate is an electronic component (or set of them) that performs a logic operation, in which the binary values 0 and 1 are represented with two different voltage values, as seen in the previous ...
Gavin has been freelance guide-writing since 2020, and guide-writing in general since 2015. He began full-game achievement walkthroughs on TrueAchievements, and has since transitioned to shorter ...
What’s the weirdest computer you can think of? This one’s weirder. [Dr. Cockroach] figured out a way to create an inverting NOT gate from just one LED and two resistors (one being a photo-resistor).
As you probably know, processors – and most other digital technology – are made up of transistors. The simplest way to think of a transistor is as a controllable switch with three pins. When the gate ...
In previous installments, we examined the different types of logic gates in detail, exploring their theoretical and practical applications. In this next part, we will dive into the practice of ...
