Who would have thought that a circuit comprising only two 2-input NAND gates could be so complicated (or, should we say, “interesting”)? Up to this point (click here to see my earlier columns), the ...

The ability for cells to control gene expression in response to changing conditions is crucial for their survival. People spend their entire careers teasing apart these mechanisms, many of which are ...

The JK flip-flop augments the behavior of the SR flip-flop (J = Set, K = Reset) by interpreting the J = K = 1 condition as a “flip” or toggle command. In my previous column, we introduced latches and ...

A central goal of synthetic biology is to create cellular networks that integrate input signals for decision making and actuation 1. In recent years, artificial logic gates 2,3,4 and memory devices ...

It’s my own fault. I have only myself to blame. I knew I was opening a can of worms when I first thought about writing a column on the topic of applying pull-up and pull-down resistors to the inputs ...

Logic Gates are among the important components of a circuit. All the logical operations required to perform a particular task in an electronic circuit are carried by these logic gates. If you are an ...
