As the saying goes, hindsight is 20/20. It may surprise you that the microchip that we all know and love today was far from an obvious idea. Some of the paths that were being explored back then to ...

As experimental quantum information processing (QIP) rapidly advances, an emerging challenge is to design a scalable architecture that combines various quantum elements into a complex device without ...

Engineers in Sydney have demonstrated a quantum integrated circuit made up of just a few atoms. By precisely controlling the quantum states of the atoms, the new processor can simulate the structure ...

Electronic integrated circuits are arguably the most significant technology of the 20th century. In enabling, among other things, the computer industry, they have changed the way we work and play to ...

An integrated circuit (IC), also known as a microchip or chip, is a miniaturized electronic circuit consisting of transistors, resistors, capacitors, and other components fabricated onto a single ...

It's not an anniversary that often gets notice, but today marks 55 years since the creation of the first integrated circuit by Jack St. Clair Kilby of Texas Instruments. In the time since, the chip ...

In the early days of computing, one of the biggest problems was the huge size of the machines. This was due to the large vacuum tubes that controlled the electricity that went through each circuit in ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. Computer technology and the Internet ...

The formal name of the chip. An integrated circuit (IC) combines thousands, millions or billions of transistors on a single substrate. A certain number of resistors and capacitors may also reside on ...

You’re probably familiar with the little black boxes nestled neatly inside your favorite devices. With their diminutive size and unassuming characteristics, it can be hard to believe these vessels are ...
