Artificial intelligence is getting more powerful—but it's also racking up a massive energy bill. Some estimate that one ...

A team of engineers has proven that their analog computing device, called a memristor, can complete complex, scientific computing tasks while bypassing the limitations of digital computing. A team of ...

With the demands of modern computing, from video editing, streaming, and gaming, many of us will turn to a monitoring system of some point to keep tabs on CPU usage, temperatures, memory, and other ...

Today, most of what we think of as a computer uses digital technology. But that wasn’t always the case. From slide rules to mechanical fire solution computers to electronic analog computers, there ...

As requested by readers, editor Andy Turudic demonstrates that it’s child’s play to set up an Analog Computer to compute a Lorenz Attractor. Anabrid’s THAT Analog Computer provides a flexible, ...

While digital computers have become entrenched in our daily lives, a new analog quantum computer offers a stark contrast in both its design and capabilities. A team of physicists from Stanford ...

In the first of three parts, Andy hypothesizes that the K2-W Analog Computer Op Amp’s design has some unrevealed mad science in its input-stage design. 1. K2-W Op Amp schematic from Bob Pease’s ...

An E6B flight computer is a vital pilot's tool designed for calculating various flight parameters, including groundspeed, fuel burn, time en route, and density altitude, by aligning values on its ...

Figured I'd have a shot of fixing something getting ideas from all the people who visit Ars At the parish I used to work at (and still help out at), there's a weekly bingo. In 1 room, there was an ...

An exemplar photograph of an integrated chip containing memristor crossbar arrays of various sizes made at UMass Amherst. (Image taken by Can Li). AMHERST, Mass. – A team of researchers including ...
