MIT has devised a way of creating complex, self-assembling 3D nanostructures of wires and junctions. While self-assembling structures have been made from polymers before, this is the first time that ...

It is possible to classify images simply by analysing the way that trillions of DNA molecules in a test tube connect together into different shapes. Conventional computers must be fully assembled ...

Once we’ve built a computer, the next step is to develop an assembly language and then an assembler that can assemble our programs. In my previous column, we introduced the concept of the big-endian ...
