Scientists from the University of Manchester created a new super-fast form of computer that “grows as it computes.” For the first time, Professor Ross D King and his team proved the practicality of ...

Physicists present a nanometer-sized light antenna with electrically modulated surface properties -- a breakthrough that could pave the way for faster computer chips. Physicists from Würzburg present ...

Quantum computing is a relatively new type of computer programming that incorporates quantum mechanics into a machine's functionality. This may result in faster computer processing, especially when ...

(Nanowerk News) Today's computers reach their physical limits when it comes to speed. Semiconductor components usually operate at a maximum usable frequency of a few gigahertz – which corresponds to ...

Artist's impression of an electrically contacted optical antenna (left) and the quantum mechanical distribution of its surface electrons. The normal distribution is shown in yellow, while the change ...
