Computers use transistor-based logic gates as the basis of their functions, but molecular logic gates would make them much faster. A report of DNA-based logic gates could be a first step towards ...

The processing of input information is key to the intelligence of any robot. For biomedical robots the inputs are biomolecules, and analysis of these biochemical data will be crucial to the successful ...

In recent years, researchers in the messy world of biology have been able to build systems that function like the clean, binary switches on computer chips—and we've covered a number of reports in this ...

Spin doctors: Menno Veldhorst and Andrew Dzurak with their CNOT gate The first quantum-logic device made from silicon has been unveiled by researchers in Australia and Japan. Their controlled-not ...

In a world first, engineers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have built a quantum logic gate in silicon, which has made calculations between two quantum bits (qubits) of information ...

DNA-based logic gates that could carry out calculations inside the body have been constructed for the first time. The work brings the prospect of injectable biocomputers programmed to target diseases ...

Phase change materials can switch between two forms depending on how quickly they're cooled. Cool them quickly and you get an amorphous form, which provides significant resistance to the flow of ...
