Stanford professor Manu Prakash explains how bubbles can be used as bits to make a computer. By directing the bubbles through etched pathways, they act like electrons traveling through circuits. In ...

For the past several years, I've been warning that the tech startup boom (and the surge of interest in "coding") is actually a dangerous bubble that is driven by the U.S. Federal Reserve's ultra-loose ...

For several years, Bell scientists have been experimenting with thin wafers of crystalline materials known as orthoferrites, which are compounds of iron oxides and such rare-earth minerals as ...

DENVER — Forget fancy electronics. Plain old bubbles are enough to direct the flow of liquid through networks of microscopic tubes, called microfluidics. Researchers recently demonstrated that bubbles ...

A computer that carries out calculations using tiny bubbles instead of electricity has been developed by US researchers. The “microfluidic” computer performs calculation by squeezing bubbles through ...

MIT researchers have developed a computer chip that runs on microbubbles like these. Photo courtesy / Manu Prakash MIT researchers have developed a computer chip that runs on microbubbles like these.

AI bubble or normal reset? Learn why today’s AI cycle looks grounded in fundamentals, what volatility to expect, and how to ...

(Nanowerk News) In work that could dramatically boost the capabilities of "lab on a chip" devices, MIT researchers have created a way to use tiny bubbles to mimic the capabilities of a computer. The ...
