Integrated circuits are the "brain" in computers, cell phones, and many other electronic devices. Scientists have demonstrated substantial improvements in integrated circuits, also known as silicon ...

Engineers have created genetic circuits in bacterial cells that not only perform logic functions, but also remember the results, which are encoded in the cell's DNA and passed on for dozens of ...

Any robot that moves needs actuators—motors that move parts of the robot around. While robot actuators have been around since the dawn of machines, they have some issues. For one, it is very difficult ...

What are virtual circuits (VCs)? Why VCs are better than quantum computing. How chatbots can help in the design of VCs. Quantum computing promises to deliver impressive computing performance for ...

Scientists have developed a way to produce soft, flexible and stretchy electronic circuits and radio antennas by hand, simply by writing on specially designed sheets of material. This technique could ...

How can you take a holistic look at computing from the top down? Computer science and engineering is the answer. As the trend toward globalization connects people in every part of the world, digital ...

Technology shapes how we work, play, connect, and discover. At Northwestern, we don’t just keep up—we push the boundaries of what’s possible. As a hub for bold, interdisciplinary research, we connect ...

New recyclable electronics could be critical to curbing e-waste, scientists argue, especially because these circuit boards can be repaired or reconfigured by simply applying heat. When you purchase ...

Take an engineering approach to computer science. Engineers like to apply scientific principles to solve real-world, practical problems. They like to design and build the systems that keep our society ...
