Measuring just 200 by 300 by 50 micrometers — smaller than a grain of salt and roughly the size of a single-celled paramecium ...

A computer that follows a set of software instructions, which is essentially every computer. A general-purpose computer can perform any data processing operation that the instructions in a program ...

Chinese scientists claim to have built the world’s fastest programmable quantum computers, which appear to crack problems that are currently not feasible for ”classical” non-quantum computers. The ...

The memristor array chip plugs into a custom computer chip, forming the first programmable memristor computer. The team demonstrated that it could run three standard types of machine learning ...

Although it isn’t very real-world practical, researchers at Cal Tech have produced a DNA-based programmable computer. Spectrum reports that the system executes programs using a set of instructions ...

A quantum computer that uses ordinary atoms to perform calculations could be a rival to more exotic devices, although one of its creators says there are still challenges ahead in scaling up the ...

(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, ...

Computer scientists at UC Davis, Maynooth University and Caltech have created DNA molecules that can self-assemble by carrying out a Boolean logic computation. Highlighted in green is the ...
