Breadboard 8-bit computer builds seem all the rage these days, and with good reason: building your own CPU from the board up using discrete logic chips is a great way to really learn how ...
“We always hoped that something like this could be built – now we know that it can be built,” says Max Shulaker, professor at MIT and corresponding author on this latest report. Carbon nanotubes have ...
Why 8- and 16-bit micros might not be a good option for new applications. What where the advantages of 8- and 16-bit micros? Why new 32-bit micros are funneling into this space. Developers have chosen ...
The Atari 520ST was Atari's first 16-bit salvo in the personal computer wars of the 1980s. A new book by ExtremeTech Editor-in-Chief Jamie Lendino shows the tremendous influence the ST had on both ...
Carbon nanotubes are nearly atomically thin carbon structures — just 1-1.2 nanometers thin. "Pure" carbon nanotubes are a powerful semiconductor, one that can compete with silicon for integration into ...
