Optimizing interconnects, fanouts and signal structures before schematic capture. As printed circuit boards (PCBs) grow denser, faster and more power-constrained, designers face mounting challenges ...

Researchers from McMaster University and the University of Pittsburgh have created the first functionally complete logic gate—a NAND gate (short for "NOT AND")—in a soft material using only beams of ...

Here's a basic example using the statement, "This true statement is not provable." If it were provable, it would be false, making logic inconsistent. If it's not provable, then it's true, but that ...

Deep beneath the North Sea, researchers have mapped giant buried mounds and “sinkites” that turn a basic rule of geology on its head. A new peer reviewed study shows that heavy, younger sands sank ...

When writing unit tests, there is a certain amount of setup work that needs to happen to build valid objects that seem unrelated to the test itself. My current way of doing this is creating an empty ...

Earlier this month, 36 sharp-witted high school students from around the globe stepped foot on the warm and breezy campus of Stanford University. Out of more than 4,000 students from more than 2,000 ...

Abstract: The existence theory of decentralized control is given a new development in canonical linear-time temporal logic (canonical LTL) for a refined class of discrete-event systems (DES’s). A ...

Bottom line: More and more AI companies say their models can reason. Two recent studies say otherwise. When asked to show their logic, most models flub the task – proving they're not reasoning so much ...
