The University of Utah has made a microcircuit capable of surviving high levels of radiation. The university previously made this tiny micro-electro-mechanical system capable of cutting a single hair.

Google and others have developed smart clothing with built-in integrated circuits, but what if the textile itself formed the circuit? That's the idea behind The Embroidered Computer, an interactive ...

Just as a falling apple spurred Isaac Newton's discovery of gravity, toppling dominoes have inspired researchers to build the world's smallest computer circuits. Scientists at IBM's Almaden Research ...

Researchers at PARC and Thinfilm Electronics have finally managed to print -- as in, using a printer that is similar to the one attached to your computer -- a computer circuit consisting of ...

Recently, scientists have been able to explore gene circuitry in individual cells using methods that suppress particular genes and measure the impact on the expression of other genes. These methods, ...

Researchers have invented a new organic polymer tunnel diode -- an electronic component that could one day lead to plastic computer memory and plastic logic circuits on computer chips. Today, computer ...

Researchers at Plymouth University have built a musical bio-computer. It contains an analogue computing circuit with components grown from a slime mould. When electrical impulses are sent to the mould ...

A team of European physicists has developed an integrated circuit that can build itself. The work, appearing in this week's Nature 1, is an important step towards its ultimate goal — a self-assembling ...

One of the near-term (but somewhat irrelevant) goals of quantum computing is something called quantum supremacy. Quantum supremacy is not, sadly, a cage fight between proponents of competing ...
