Researchers have developed a kirigami-inspired mechanical computer that uses a complex structure of rigid, interconnected polymer cubes to store, retrieve and erase data without relying on electronic ...
The new mechanical computer uses 64 physical cubes to represent binary bits and is inspired by kirigami — the Japanese art of paper-folding and cutting. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...
It can be surprisingly hard to find decent analogies when you’re teaching electronics basics. The water flow analogy, for instance, is decent for explaining Ohm’s law, but it breaks down pretty soon ...
K’NEX, the colorful plastic construction toy known for roller coasters and towers, has taken on a new identity. It has become the frame of a fully functioning 8-bit mechanical computer. Built by an ...

Is the Raspberry Pi 500+ and its mechanical keyboard worth it?
The Raspberry Pi 500+ is most of a Raspberry Pi 5 Model B 16GB that’s been squeezed into a keyboard case, with fancy ...
Most animals require brains to run, jump or hop. The single-celled protozoan Euplotes eurystomus, however, achieves a scurrying walk using a simple, mechanical computer to coordinate its microscopic ...
Back in the 70’s when computers were fairly expensive and out of reach for most people, [David Hagelbarger] of Bell Laboratories designed CARDIAC: CARDboard Illustrative Aid to Computation. CARDIAC ...
