Artificial intelligence is getting more powerful—but it's also racking up a massive energy bill. Some estimate that one ...

A team of engineers has proven that their analog computing device, called a memristor, can complete complex, scientific computing tasks while bypassing the limitations of digital computing. A team of ...

Although computers are overwhelmingly digital today, there’s a good point to be made that analog computers are the more efficient approach for specific applications. The authors behind a recent paper ...

Why the Future of AI & Computers Will Be Analog explores the resurgence of analog computing as a powerful and speedy ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in analog computing, developing a programmable electronic circuit that harnesses the properties of high-frequency electromagnetic waves to perform complex ...

A technical paper titled “Accelerating AI Using Next-Generation Hardware: Possibilities and Challenges With Analog In-Memory Computing” was published by researchers at Lund University and Ericsson ...

When your only tool is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail. That’s an old saying and perhaps somewhat obvious, but our tools do color our solutions and sometimes in very subtle ways. For ...

Simulations of quantum many-body systems are an important goal for nuclear and high-energy physics. Many-body problems involve systems that consist of many microscopic particles interacting at the ...

In part 1, we looked at some preliminary concepts of what quantum computing is and how it compares with analog computing. Let's continue the analysis. I contacted Dr. Ned Allen, chief scientist at ...

This component has an aluminum frame and three gears on top. It appears to have two similar mechanisms on the inside – each includes a shaft, a screw with linkages, and a cylinder turned by rotating a ...

I'm sure nearly everyone has by now heard that Google “proved” the D-Wave 2 they operate jointly with NASA (mainly paid for by Google) can operate “up to ∼ 10 8 times faster”. If not, you might want ...
