The connection between electrical switches and boolean algebra goes in the other direction as well. A computer's CPU is largely built out of logic gates: physical manifestations of Boolean operators.

Each operator has a standard symbol that can be used when drawing logic gate circuits. The three main logic gates are: AND, OR and NOT.

Genetic logic gates that make up these circuits often use promoters as input and output signals. A transcription factor acts on an input promoter that drives the expression of an activator or ...

Research paper from KAIST and Gachon University. Abstract “Multi-valued logic (MVL) circuits based on heterojunction transistor (HTR) have emerged as an effective strategy for high-density information ...

A research team from Skoltech and the University of Wuppertal in Germany determined that an all-optical universal logic gate that was previously developed at Skoltech can operate at a speed of 240 ...

Just when you thought you had Boolean logic in the bag, Excel 2013 introduced the new operator XOR, which means Exclusive OR. Think of it as a similar opposite of NOT: If one condition is true and ...

It’s proven impossible to achieve the same feat on silicon. “The logic qubit state is encoded on the spin of a single electron,” explains Andrew Dzurak, who led the research.
