With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

Your computer has two basic kinds of memory: hard drive storage and random-access memory, and they perform separate functions. Although adding a second hard drive increases your PC's storage capacity, ...

Everyone at some time or another has a slow browser experience and has had to wait an unusually long time for a new page to appear. There are many possible reasons why this might be; however, unless ...

A molecular "recycling plant" permits nerve cells in the brain to carry out two seemingly contradictory functions -- changeable enough to record new experiences, yet permanent enough to maintain these ...

Editor’s Note: Demand for increasing functionality and performance in systems designs continues to drive the need for more memory even as hardware engineers balance the dynamics of system capability, ...

AVR microcontrollers can do pretty much anything nowadays. Blinking LEDs, handling sensor inputs, engine control modules, and now, thanks to [Dan], a small single chip BASIC computer with only ten ...
