Some bizarre ways of building logic gates also exist. Conway’s Game of Life, perhaps the most well known cellular automaton, has been shown to be a Universal Turing Machine, meaning that ...

Section II discusses the implementation of universal basic building blocks: the NAND and the NOR Gates. Section III describes the simulation results for the leakage power and dynamic power of the ...

In addition to a basic “1” and “0” logic state, these gates can also be configured for a tri-state input and output. This is huge; there are only two universal gates when you’re only ...

To overcome these challenges, the researchers created an integrated programmable photonic latch based on optical universal logic gates using silicon photonic micro-ring modulators. These devices ...
