Could updated analog computer technology – popular from about 1940-1970 –be developed to build high-speed CPUs for certain specialized applications? Researchers at the Defense Advanced Research ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The pursuit of faster and more efficient computing has been a driving force in technological progress for decades. As the demand for computational power continues to grow, ...

A computer that processes analog data is known as an analog computer. Analog computers store information in physical quantities in a continuous format and use measurements to perform computation.

Analog computers have been used extensively in the past, for things like tide calculations, but in the semiconductor era things have mostly gone digital. Even where you have analog elements, like DRAM ...

Our new tech editor for Analog looks at the evolution of “analog” and how it inadvertently spun off a pop music genre. Operational Amplifiers are exactly that—amplifiers that can perform mathematical ...

In the azure waters off the coast of Antikythera, Greece, a chance discovery in the early 20th century transformed our understanding of ancient technology. A sponge diver, exploring the remnants of a ...
