NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR and XNOR). Electronic gates operate on two nominal voltages, normally 0 V and 5 V, representing the logic 0 and the logic 1, respectively. The AND gate has two inputs A and B.

By combining NOT and OR gates, you can easily make a NAND gate, an AND gate, a NOR gate, and any other logic you can dream up. Mechanical computing is decidedly old school, but not at these scales.

A new breakthrough in optical computing could help make computers dramatically faster. A team of scientists from Skoltech in ...

A research team from Skoltech and the University of Wuppertal in Germany determined that an all-optical universal logic gate ...
