Just turning on a computer is enough to get the fan to run continuously. Computer fans constantly run during normal use to cool computer components and prevent overheating. Many computers produce ...

A computer component that uses vibrations rather than electrons could approach the physical lower limit for energy use when processing and sending information. The minimum amount of energy needed for ...

What is Non-Destructive Testing? Nondestructive testing is a means of evaluating a material or component’s superficial or interior defects or mechanical conditions without compromising the component ...

Buying PC components at a store like Best Buy or Micro Center is easy. You pick what you want and take it to the register. You'll usually have the option to purchase a warranty, or at least to take ...

Engineers have developed fully recyclable printed electronics. By demonstrating a crucial and relatively complex computer component -- the transistor -- created with three carbon-based inks, the ...

Computers could mimic neural networks in the brain -- and be much more energy efficient -- with a new computer component that mimics how the brain works by acting like a synaptic cell. It's called an ...

A lightning strike can cause terrible damage to electrical devices. The damage doesn't have to be smoking components either; a lightning strike can fry hardware without any visible signs of failure.

The Bottleneck is the term used to define the stage where the output has reached its maximum value. In computing, Bottleneck is a situation where a computer component has reached its maximum output ...
