Engineers have reached a theoretical limit for efficiently converting analog data into digital bits in an emerging computer technology. The future of computing may be analog. The digital design of our ...

An analog computer is a system that provides information in continuous form. These computers can only represent physical quantities such as pressure, weight, voltage pressure, speed, and more.

Analog computers are systems that perform computations by manipulating physical quantities such as electrical current, that ...

More than a century on from being spotted and salvaged by sponge divers in the Mediterranean Sea, the Antikythera mechanism continues to excite academic research and the public imagination. Found in a ...

Scientists have been working toward developing a novel mathematical approach that will help advance computation beyond the digital framework. Your computer performs most tasks well. For word ...

Analog computers were largely phased out once digital systems began to hit the scene, but they’re still used in certain situations because they’re well-suited to complex simulations. Now, a research ...

A “cheap as chips” open-source Analog Computer can run circles around a Raspberry Pi in solving differential equations and for simulating natural phenomena. To keep costs down, the Anabrid team ...
