Google and others have developed smart clothing with built-in integrated circuits, but what if the textile itself formed the circuit? That's the idea behind The Embroidered Computer, an interactive ...

The company's scientists have received a patent on connecting a new type of super-small computer circuit to the outside world, dealing with a key obstacle in making such circuits useful. Stephen ...

Scientists have built a computer 'brain circuit', or artificial neural network, that mirrors human decision-making processes and sheds light on how circuits might be altered in psychiatric diseases, a ...

What are virtual circuits (VCs)? Why VCs are better than quantum computing. How chatbots can help in the design of VCs. Quantum computing promises to deliver impressive computing performance for ...

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 ...

A team of European physicists has developed an integrated circuit that can build itself. The work, appearing in this week's Nature 1, is an important step towards its ultimate goal — a self-assembling ...

In 2023, about 4.4% (176 terawatt-hours) of total energy consumption in the United States was by data centers that are essential for processing large quantities of information. Of that 176 TWh, ...

Researchers at PARC and Thinfilm Electronics have finally managed to print -- as in, using a printer that is similar to the one attached to your computer -- a computer circuit consisting of ...

One of the near-term (but somewhat irrelevant) goals of quantum computing is something called quantum supremacy. Quantum supremacy is not, sadly, a cage fight between proponents of competing ...
