Computer-aided designs, such as this model of a fingertip-sized heart pump, can reduce the number of physical prototypes that must be made. Computer-aided design (CAD) is a tool intended to facilitate ...

In the early days of the semiconductor industry, integrated circuits were designed by one or two engineers with slide-rules, hand-drawn on paper, and then given to a lithographer to print onto silicon ...

Through interdisciplinary research, community revitalization, and inclusive, interactive computing, the Center for Human-Computer Interaction + Design (HCI+D) — a collaboration between Northwestern ...

Fifth-year applied physics Ph.D. candidate Ben Bartlett, postdoctoral scholar Avik Dutt and electrical engineering professor Shanhui Fan proposed a new computer hardware design in November that could, ...

In aerospace products like satellites, cables are laid out like human neurons. Cables play the role of transmitting information and energy and possess a large proportion of aerospace products. Cable ...

Quantum engineers from UNSW Sydney have removed a major obstacle that has stood in the way of quantum computers becoming a reality. They discovered a new technique they say will be capable of ...

To identify the information technologies required for a computer-aided system to support materials selection, the committee articulated a future vision of a full-function Computer-Aided Materials ...

In the ERC project HelixMold, a team from TU Graz developed a method for the computer-based design of artificial proteins, with a focus on custom biocatalysts for pharmaceutical applications or the ...

The achievement was discussed in a research paper (pdf) dated June 27 and authored by 19 Chinese computer processor researchers from five technology colleges. The researchers say their approach is ...

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 ...

The supercomputer has an innovative chip design that allows it to carry out more than 2 quintillion calculations per second.
