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 ...

The University of Utah has made a microcircuit capable of surviving high levels of radiation. The university previously made this tiny micro-electro-mechanical system capable of cutting a single hair.

Just as a falling apple spurred Isaac Newton's discovery of gravity, toppling dominoes have inspired researchers to build the world's smallest computer circuits. Scientists at IBM's Almaden Research ...

Self rewiring computer circuits could soon make bad memory a bad memory, thanks to a new type of electronic device from the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC 1. The computer was a ...

Are you ready to hop on the information highway? Computer engineering involves the design and development of systems based on computers and complex digital logic devices. These systems find use in ...

That image above isn't an artisan fabric, created for some hipster clothing line; it isn't a poster for a new band created by some graphic-designer from Switzerland with rare, pointy glasses. It's ...

Computers get faster and communication signals get faster, but the interface between them–where the electrons in the computer circuits are converted into photons for the fiber-optic cable–remains ...

Sick of silicon? It is getting a bit played, so maybe it's time to shift some paradigms, and Duke University engineer Chris Dwyer thinks that pure proteins deoxyribonucleic acids are where it's at. He ...

For all its sophistication and power, your brain is built from unreliable components – one neuron can successfully provoke a signal in another only 40% of the time. This lack of efficiency frustrates ...
