(PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists have literally taken a leap into a new era of computing power by making the world's smallest precision-built transistor - a "quantum dot" of just seven atoms in a single ...

On a recent 90-degree day in the heart of Purdue University’s campus, dozens of students sat in a windowless basement lab, wiring keypads into integrated circuits, drawing diagrams on whiteboards and ...

Researchers have demonstrated that quantum bits (qubits) can directly transfer between quantum computer microchips and demonstrated this with record-breaking connection speed and accuracy. This ...

Electrical engineers from ETH Zurich have devised intelligent textiles that already have electronic components such as sensors and conductive filaments woven into them. The advantage: the fabric can ...
