A unique methodology to explore alternative interconnect metals for the Ångström era. About five years ago, imec researchers started to explore binary and ternary compounds for replacing Cu as future ...

Last year, I wrote about the massive energy costs of AI and General Purpose Transformers like ChatGPT. The AI capabilities are amazing, but the energy and environmental cost is concerning. To ...

You would be very hard pressed to find any sort of CPU or microcontroller in a commercial product that uses anything but binary to do its work. And yet, other options exist! Ternary computing involves ...

One of the first things we learn about computers is that they perform operations using binary code to represent values. It's a fundamental trait of computing -- but it's not a requirement. It's ...

If you’re at all familiar with digital computing, you’ll know that computers represent everything in binary values of one and zero. Except that’s not technically the only way to do computing! You can ...
