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 ...

Scientists have long wanted to build motors, transistors and switches at the molecular level with hopes of one day being able to help fight diseases or do amazing mini-feats of engineering. Subscribe ...

You may have experienced a short circuit on a 15A to 100A branch circuit that also tripped the main breaker in that same panelboard, resulting in widespread downtime. This short circuit may have ...

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 ...

Engineers have long dreamed of using DNA as the backbone for the next generation of computer circuits. New research shows just how it might be done. Instead of conventional circuits built of silicon ...

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 ...

For all its sophistication and power, your brain is built from unreliable components – one neuron can successfully provoke a signal in another only 40% of the time. This lack of efficiency frustrates ...
