Our new tech editor for Analog looks at the evolution of “analog” and how it inadvertently spun off a pop music genre. Operational Amplifiers are exactly that—amplifiers that can perform mathematical ...

As requested by readers, editor Andy Turudic demonstrates that it’s child’s play to set up an Analog Computer to compute a Lorenz Attractor. Anabrid’s THAT Analog Computer provides a flexible, ...

An analog computer is a system that provides information in continuous form. These computers can only represent physical quantities such as pressure, weight, voltage pressure, speed, and more.

Analog computers have been used extensively in the past, for things like tide calculations, but in the semiconductor era things have mostly gone digital. Even where you have analog elements, like DRAM ...

[Janis Alnis] wanted to build an analog computer circuit and bought some multiplier chips. The first attempt used apparently fake chips that were prone to overheating. He was able to get it to work ...

When it comes to the world of consumer-grade electronics, absolutely nothing stands still. What was considered cutting-edge a mere decade ago is today all but ancient history, with tech components, ...

While doing some cleaning through boxes of old components, I came across a ten-turn potentiometer from a previous life (see Photo 1). These pots were a common component of precision test and ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The pursuit of faster and more efficient computing has been a driving force in technological progress for decades. As the demand for computational power continues to grow, ...

In part 1, we looked at some preliminary concepts of what quantum computing is and how it compares with analog computing. Let's continue the analysis. I contacted Dr. Ned Allen, chief scientist at ...
