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 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.

So why is this AI stock finally entering its breakout phase now? Well, with AI investments expected to surge further in 2026, ...

In the first of three parts, Andy hypothesizes that the K2-W Analog Computer Op Amp’s design has some unrevealed mad science in its input-stage design. 1. K2-W Op Amp schematic from Bob Pease’s ...

(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, ...

An analog computer is a system that provides information in continuous form. These computers can only represent physical quantities such as pressure, weight, voltage pressure, speed, and more.

While doing some cleaning through boxes of old components, I came across a ten-turn potentiometer from a previous life (see Photo 1). These pots were a common component of precision test and ...

In part 1, we looked at some preliminary concepts of what quantum computing is and how it compares with analog computing. Let's continue the analysis. I contacted Dr. Ned Allen, chief scientist at ...
