A new publication from Opto-Electronic Science; DOI 10.29026/oes.2022.220010 considers optical logic gates in future computers. If you are reading this on your smartphone, its CPU (central processing ...

We’ve often said you can make a logic gate out of darn near anything. [The Action Lab] agrees and just released a video showing how he made some logic gates from chains and gears. Along the way, he ...

A soft material performs NAND logic with visible light, showing a path toward materials that process information without conventional electronic circuitry. “This project has been part of my scientific ...

The processor in a quantum computer. The quantum chip contains the qubits as well as the quantum logic gates that manipulate the qubits. This differs dramatically from a classical computer where the ...

A single MXene-based optical gate switches between seven Boolean logic functions via voltage, enabling trainable photonic networks for AI tasks. (Nanowerk Spotlight) All-optical logic platforms are ...

Why it matters: For decades, scientists have dreamed of building computer chips that use light instead of electricity to process information. While our current silicon chips are incredibly fast, ...
