Intel’s 386 CPU is notable for being its first x86 CPU to use so-called standard cell logic, which swapped the taping out of individual transistors with wiring up standardized functional blocks. This ...

Targeted drug delivery has long been a cornerstone goal of modern medicine—sending therapies exactly where they’re needed while sparing healthy tissues. Yet creating treatments that can decide when ...

Boolean expressions and Boolean logic are widely used in mathematics, computer science, computer programming, and philosophy. These take their name from the 19 th century mathematician and logician ...

Earlier this month, 36 sharp-witted high school students from around the globe stepped foot on the warm and breezy campus of Stanford University. Out of more than 4,000 students from more than 2,000 ...

The first CMOS chip was created by Fairchild Semiconductor, presented at ISSCC in 1963. The logic topologies used in today’s textbooks originated in this work. P-type devices are slower than N-type by ...

Physicists including Robert H. Dickle and Fred Hoyle have argued that we are living in a universe that is perfectly fine-tuned for life. Following the anthropic principle, they claimed that the only ...

Abstract: Memristors are a promising solution for building an advanced computing system due to their excellent characteristics, including small energy consumption, high integration density, fast write ...

both circuits represent the addition of two numbers, but the arithmetic circuit simply uses one built-in addition gate, and the boolean circuit achieves (4-bit) addition using only boolean operations.

Logic gates process data and generate outputs using Boolean algebra and truth tables (Figure 1) to define operations for all binary input combinations: 0 (false, low) and 1 (true, high). Figure 1. A ...

To mathematicians, equations are art. Just as many are moved by a painting or piece of music, to those who appreciate and understand math, expressions of numbers, variables, operations and relations ...
