Researchers at Politecnico di Milano and CNR-IFN have demonstrated all-optical logic operations in a tungsten disulfide (WS₂) ...

In a collaboration between scientists from Physics and Chemistry at the University of Bayreuth and Physical Chemistry at the University of Melbourne, it has now been possible to realize optically ...

Logic gates are the bricks and mortar of digital electronics, implementing a logical operation on one or more binary inputs to produce a single output. These operations are what make all computations ...

(Phys.org) —The integrated circuits in virtually every computer today are built exclusively from transistors. But as researchers are constantly trying to improve the density of circuits on a chip, ...

A pair of photons enters an optical maze, and sometimes they leave as something new. Not new in the everyday sense, since both were still photons when they came out. But new in the way they share ...

A soft material performs NAND logic with visible light, showing a path toward materials that process information without conventional electronic circuitry. “This project has been part of my scientific ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Logic gates, especially Boolean logic gates, are the fundamental building blocks of today's computers built with silicon-based circuitry; without them, digital information could ...

A long-standing quest for science and technology has been to develop electronics and information processing that operate near the fastest timescales allowed by the laws of nature. A promising way to ...
