This research developed synthetic genes that use Boolean logic gates to achieve specific patterns of gene expression within a plant.

Eventually, Inoue notes, researchers might use similar cellular logic gates to build larger, more complex circuits that could form the basis for computers that use cells as basic units.

Modern digital logic, which is used in computers and cell phones, is based on Boolean algebra implemented in semiconductor switch-based circuits. It uses zeroes and ones for encoding and processing ...

Juan Bisquert an applied physicist at the University of James I in Castello, Spain, agrees. The devices “show a robust response,” he says, and combining them to implement a Boolean logic operation ...

To demonstrate that they worked in a programmable logic array, the memristor grid was programmed to perform a Boolean sum-of-product operation.

Multiple droplets of a magnetic fluid have been used to create all of the fundamental logic circuits within a computer. Created by researchers in the US, the circuits are made by having the ...
