Researchers from the University of Queensland have taken a significant step in the quest to build a quantum computer, creating a light-based quantum circuit capable of basic calculations and moving ...

Researchers from HP Labs have proven the existence of what had previously been only theorized as the fourth fundamental circuit element in electrical engineering. This scientific advancement could ...

This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three scientists who experimentally demonstrated quantum tunneling in ...

Engineers have long dreamed of using DNA as the backbone for the next generation of computer circuits. New research shows just how it might be done. Instead of conventional circuits built of silicon ...

Someday we may look back on today’s iPhones and laptops as huge, clunky devices with outdated chips made of silicon that was long ago replaced by carbon nanotubes. Tens of thousands of the tiny ...

Computers have become vastly more complex than 8- and 16-bit machines of yesteryear, which had the advantage of being much simpler to program than their modern descendants. That's what led Konstantin ...

Someday we may look back on today’s iPhones and laptops as huge, clunky devices with outdated chips made of silicon that was long ago replaced by carbon nanotubes. Tens of thousands of the tiny ...

Exerting delicate control over a pair of atoms within a mere seven-millionths-of-a-second window of opportunity, physicists created an atomic circuit that may help quantum computing become a reality.
