One of the first things we learn about computers is that they perform operations using binary code to represent values. It's a fundamental trait of computing -- but it's not a requirement. It's ...

Last year, I wrote about the massive energy costs of AI and General Purpose Transformers like ChatGPT. The AI capabilities are amazing, but the energy and environmental cost is concerning. To ...

Ternary optical computing systems represent an innovative leap beyond traditional binary computation by utilising three discrete logic states. This approach leverages the intrinsic advantages of ...

New observations and simulations of three spiral arms of gas feeding material to three protostars forming in a trinary system have clarified the formation of multi-star systems. New observations and ...

A South Korean research team has successfully realised an energy-efficient ternary metal-oxide semiconductor on a large-sized wafer. Professor Kyung Rok Kim of UNIST's Electrical & Computer ...

It has become a hot topic to further improve the efficiency of polymer solar cells (PSCs) from device physics. Ternary strategy provides a very potential solution for simultaneous optimization of ...

The study of phase equilibria in aqueous ternary and quaternary systems is pivotal for understanding the complex interactions among multiple ionic species in solution. These systems, which involve ...
