Amazon Web Services is the third of the Big Three cloud computing giants to announce a quantum computing chip breakthrough this week, joining Microsoft last week and Google in December. Amazon's ...

While most of computing in the world is still digital, the data around us is captured in analog via sensors–images through cameras, temperature, and sound, for example and has to be converted in a ...

A new chip aims to dramatically reduce energy consumption while accelerating the processing of large amounts of data.

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. This mechanism has an open aluminum ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Microsystems Technology Office awarded Northwestern Engineering’s Jie Gu and co-PIs Yiran Chen (Duke University) and Ramesh Harjani (University of ...

Our new tech editor for Analog looks at the evolution of “analog” and how it inadvertently spun off a pop music genre. Operational Amplifiers are exactly that—amplifiers that can perform mathematical ...

Analog computers, computing systems that represent data as continuous physical quantities, such as voltage, frequency or vibrations, can be significantly more energy-efficient than digital computers, ...

This component has an aluminum frame and three gears on top. It appears to have two similar mechanisms on the inside – each includes a shaft, a screw with linkages, and a cylinder turned by rotating a ...
