The fun part about logic gates is that there are so many ways to make them, with each approach having its own advantages and disadvantages. Although these days transistor-transistor logic (TTL) is … ...

Physicists at the University of California, Riverside have received a $2 million research grant to work on "magnetologic gates," a brand new computing building block made from graphene and ...

In this paper, a Floating Gate Field Effect Transistor (FGFET), which has a structure similar to a floating gate memory cell transistor that has been widely used in the past and is highly applicable ...

Both groups have met two key, previously unrealised, device requirements for nanoscale transistor circuits. The component transistors produce signal amplification with an output to input ratio much ...

Current silicon gates are pure logic -- on or off, billions of times per second. In magnetologic gates, there are two magnetic electrodes that magnetically store data -- like a hard drive ...

When a voltage was applied between the gate and source, the electrostatic force was found to pull the beam into contact with the drain (but not the gate). This allows current to flow between source ...

So when can geeks like us hope to see this technology in our rigs? Probably not for another few years. Intel plans to begin incorporating their tri-gate transistors into chips by 2007, with the ...

Gates that move by springing, and electromigration relays, could form the basis of 100MHz non-volatile logic with extremely low leakage. So claims a heavy-weight research partnership formed between ...
