Quantum mechanics describes the weird behavior of microscopic particles. Using quantum systems to perform computation promises to allow researchers to solve problems in areas from chemistry to ...

Researchers have invented a new organic polymer tunnel diode -- an electronic component that could one day lead to plastic computer memory and plastic logic circuits on computer chips. Today, computer ...

Researchers at IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., have created the world's first logic-performing computer circuit within a single molecule. Such circuits may someday lead to ...

The fuzzy sound of a distorted electric guitar is, for rock fans, a thing of beauty. It has been a staple of music since the early 1950s, when guitarists strained the vacuum tubes inside their ...

Scientists have demonstrated how living cells can be induced to carry out computations in the manner of tiny robots or computers. The interdisciplinary nexus of biology and engineering, known as ...

Just as a falling apple spurred Isaac Newton's discovery of gravity, toppling dominoes have inspired researchers to build the world's smallest computer circuits. Scientists at IBM's Almaden Research ...
