A computer that processes analog data is known as an analog computer. Analog computers store information in physical quantities in a continuous format and use measurements to perform computation.

(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, ...

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 ...

A team of scientists has taken a big step toward a new kind of computing that could work at the speed of light. Instead of ...

Microsoft has introduced an analogue optical computer (AOC) that blends light-based computation with analogue electronics to ...

A “cheap as chips” open-source Analog Computer can run circles around a Raspberry Pi in solving differential equations and for simulating natural phenomena. To keep costs down, the Anabrid team ...

[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 ...

Microsoft has built a prototype computer that uses light and analog signals instead of traditional binary computing. The system, developed in Cambridge, U.K., is designed to handle optimization tasks ...
