The hard drive, which typically provides storage for data and applications within a computer, has four key components inside its casing -- the platter (for storing data), the spindle (for spinning the ...

Scientists are documenting that one fundamental component of computer chips, long regarded as a passive bystander, can actually be made to act like a switch. That potentially allows it to take part in ...

Scientists have taken another major step toward creating stable quantum computers. Using a specialized quantum computer chip ...

A computer component that uses vibrations rather than electrons could approach the physical lower limit for energy use when processing and sending information. The minimum amount of energy needed for ...
