Oracle-based quantum algorithms cannot use deep loops because quantum states exist only as mathematical amplitudes in Hilbert space with no physical substrate. Criticall ...

For nearly two decades, two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have been studied as a complement or possible successor to silicon transistors, promising smaller, faster and more energy-efficient ...

Duke engineers show how a common device architecture used to test 2D transistors overstates their performance prospects in real-world devices.

When a videogame wants to show a scene, it sends the GPU a list of objects described using triangles (most 3D models are broken down into triangles). The GPU then runs a sequence called a rendering ...

In this video, we explore the fundamental components of computers, beginning with transistors and their role in CPUs. The ...

In the 1980s, economist Robert Solow made an observation that reminded economists of today’s AI boom: “You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics.” ...

With AI buying up the worldwide supply of DRAM and hard drives, a wide swath of industries from automotive to cellular to PCs will face Armageddon times.

When an employer withdraws from a multiemployer pension plan, its maximum annual payment is based on all contributions it was required to remit to the plan. In SuperValu Inc. v. United Food and ...

A Planet Analog article, “2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor?” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old transistor and how it’s commonly used, and if any uncommon uses might exist.
