One of the first things we learn about computers is the concept of binary ones and zeroes. When we dig into implementation of digital logic, we start to learn about voltages, and currents, and other ...

When you think about the materials that make up a computer, water is probably not something that comes to mind. However, in Manu Prakash’s lab at Stanford, things are quite different. Driven by his ...

My last work on Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI) was published on May 8. That article was titled “Super Micro Computer Q3: The Less-Discussed Topics (Rating Downgrade)”. As stated in the title, the ...

A water-based computer has been developed by researchers at Stanford University after nearly a decade of research and development. This device utilizes droplets of water to carry out the functions of ...

Though its processing speed is significantly slower than that of a conventional electronic computer, this computer, which works by moving water droplets, can theoretically perform the same operations.

In the deep, dark past of computing, water was the default means of keeping a computer cool. Now, in the 21 st century, it is making its presence felt again. If you compare the use of water to air as ...
