A large modern computer can contain nearly half a million switching elements and 10 million high-speed memory elements. They ...

In this design idea logic elements consisting of two nodes—an input resistive matrix and a threshold module, operating on the basis of fractional logic principles—are proposed. Fractional logic ...

A new way to make complete and programmable logic circuits that combine both memory and logical processing in a single structure has been unveiled by physicists in Germany. Such structures could lead ...
