Three students at Cornell University have recreated, on a modern chip, the machine that helped the Allies break the German ...

Abstract: A novel approach to tomographic data processing has been developed and evaluated using the Jagiellonian positron emission tomography scanner as an example. We propose a system in which there ...

Abstract: All-optical programmable logic arrays (PLAs) based on canonical logic units (CLUs), i.e., minterms and maxterms, are presented. We experimentally demonstrated the full set of two-input and ...

AI/ML and agentic tools are getting better at helping design and compile FPGAs, but downstream programming is slower to benefit. FPGAs historically have been designed using Verilog or VHDL, but higher ...

Programmable matter represents one of the most transformative technological frontiers of the 21st century, promising to revolutionize how we interact with the physical world. This article explores the ...

Advanced LED lighting arrays can spectrally tune their output wavelength to highlight different features and defects in captured images. The capability enables a single light fixture to quickly adapt ...

But what do these categories mean in practice? Below is an overview of each type, the roles they play, and the types of chips commonly found within them. Logic chips carry out instructions and manage ...

Logic gates might seem like purely theoretical tools from the realm of computer science and electronics, but their influence on industrial applications is far-reaching. Understanding logic gates not ...

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and programmable automation controllers (PACs) are industrial computers constructed and adapted for manufacturing environments. These computers are the brains of ...

Ladder logic uses switch or relay contacts to implement Boolean expressions. In years past, ladder logic was made possible with discrete relays and was sometimes termed “relay logic.” Today most ...
