Back in 1968, a book titled “How to Build a Working Digital Computer” claimed that the sufficiently dedicated reader could assemble their own functioning computer at home using easily obtainable ...

A “cheap as chips” open-source Analog Computer can run circles around a Raspberry Pi in solving differential equations and for simulating natural phenomena. To keep costs down, the Anabrid team ...

The most common repairs to laptop and desktop computers are motherboards, power supplies, hard drives, and other major components. The cost and time required to repair PCs often makes it more ...

Almost all computer chips use two types of transistors: one called p-type, for positive, and one called n-type, for negative. Improving the performance of the chip as a whole requires parallel ...

In space engineering, the electronic component layout has a very important impact on the centroid stability and heat dissipation of devices. However, the diversity of components, a variety of spatial ...

Computers have to be kept in a specific environment to function efficiently. Conditions such as heat, cold, dust and excessive humidity all can damage and lessen the performance of a computer.

A honey bear is probably one of the weirder things you’d see in a science lab, especially in a lab making computer parts. “It’s just processed, store-bought honey,” said Ph.D. student Zoe Templin.

A computer component that uses vibrations rather than electrons could approach the physical lower limit for energy use when processing and sending information. The minimum amount of energy needed for ...
