How do the circuits of the human brain work—and what happens when they are disrupted? To investigate these questions, ...

Researchers have demonstrated how a smart compiler specifically tailored for superconducting quantum hardware can optimize circuits and networks and execute less error-prone quantum algorithms such as ...

Advances in Applied Probability, Vol. 18, No. 2 (Jun., 1986), pp. 473-505 (33 pages) This paper is concerned with blocking and loss probabilities in circuit-switched networks. We show that when the ...

Scientistsare reporting the first simple and inexpensive method for building the large-scale networks of single-walled carbon nanotubes needed for using these microscopic wisps in a future generation ...

Adm. Edmund P. Giambastiani Jr., USN, is the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Conference highlights the need for people—not an increase in technology—to build more links. Despite years of ...

Synthetic biology offers a way to engineer cells to perform novel functions, such as glowing with fluorescent light when they detect a certain chemical. Usually, this is done by altering cells so they ...

Synthetic biology allows scientists to design genetic circuits that can be placed in cells, giving them new functions such as producing drugs or other useful molecules. However, as these circuits ...

Lucent Technologies last week broadened its circuit-to-packet migration offerings with a switch and switch components designed to enable service providers to evolve Class 5 networks to IP. Lucent ...
