Teaching students about logic gates is often done in two parts, once on the whiteboard for the theory, and again on the breadboard for the practice. [shurik179] wasn’t a fan of the abstraction between ...

We’ve always been fascinated at the number of ways logic gates can spring into being. Sure, we think of logic gates carrying electrons, but there are so many other mechanical means to do the same ...

Figure 1: The gibberellin-inducible CID system functions on a timescale of seconds. Figure 2: Gibberellin-based CID can induce localized protein activity and is orthogonal to rapamycin CID. Figure 3: ...

This study is led by Prof. Hongxin Yang (Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences) and Dr. Dongxing Yu (Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and ...

Light-based logic: The optical chirality logic gate is made of a nonlinear optical material that generates an output signal that’s dependent on the chirality of the two input beams. (Courtesy: Yi ...

The Boolean logic gates AND, OR and NOT comprise transistors, which are on/off switches wired together. Gates have one or two inputs but only one output, and they are wired in patterns that make up ...

Phase change materials can switch between two forms depending on how quickly they’re cooled. Cool them quickly and you get an amorphous form, which provides significant resistance to the flow of ...

Computers built from DNA will benefit from a design breakthrough that helps them perform complex calculations, and could also lead to biological sensors for detecting diseases. Until now, DNA ...
