A little bit of computer science has made it possible to reduce the time it takes to find new genes from years to milliseconds. Researchers at Stanford University have developed a simple processing ...

Researchers have created a "biocomputer" out of strands of RNA inside a living yeast cell, and demonstrated that it can be programmed to respond to conditions within the cell by taking specific ...

It’s time to do a series on logic including things such as programmable logic, state machines, and the lesser known demons such as switching hazards. It is best to start at the beginning — but even ...

There are two main reasons mathematics has fascinated humanity for two thousand years. First, math gives us the tools we need to understand the universe and build things. Second, the study of ...

Sometimes we need a program to do something based on the results of two conditions. This simple Python (3.x) program prints out a different message depending on the result of two tests. If each test’s ...

Controlling gene activity is important for engineering plants for improved bioenergy crops and other applications. This research developed synthetic genes that use Boolean logic gates to achieve ...

Overview of digital logic design. Implementation technologies, timing in combinational and sequential circuits, EDA tools, basic arithmetic units, introduction to simulation and synthesis using ...
