All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. Therefore, Socrates is mortal. Logical arguments like this one have been studied since antiquity. In the last few decades, however, logic research has changed ...

A team of researchers at Aalto University in Finland has found a way to use nanowires to build all-optical logic gates—a major step toward building a light-based computer. In their paper published in ...

Pity the poor TTL computer aficionado. It’s an obsession, really — using discrete logic chips to scratch-build a computer that would probably compare unfavorably to an 80s era 8-bit machine in terms ...

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote an article about a digital and analog circuit simulator called ksimus. One of my readers asked what the difference was between ksimus and ktechlab so I thought I'd take ...

MIT Press recently published Fundamental Proof Methods in Computer Science, a book by Konstantine Arkoudas and David Musser, a professor emeritus of computer science at the Rensselaer Polytechnic ...

A depiction of a logic gate constructed within a gel medium, which is ingeniously formed from three self-trapped beams of light. This innovative approach not only highlights the potential of using ...

The intersection of machine learning and mathematical logic — spanning computer science, pure mathematics, and statistics — has catalyzed recent advances in artificial intelligence and deep learning ...

Zadeh had observed that conventional computer logic couldn’t manipulate data that represented subjective or vague ideas, so he created fuzzy logic to allow computers to determine the distinctions ...

A tiny modern microchip has far more processing power than this valve-operated logic door.The Ferranti Mark I computer installed at the University of Manchester in February 1951 was the world's first ...
