Mechanical watches, for example, are analog computers in which the seconds, minutes, and hours needles in the clock are driven by the constant and periodic rotation of interconnected gears.

Researchers at Cornell University have developed an electronic chip that they describe as a "microwave brain." The simplified ...

Examples of analog computers are ubiquitous and date back a surprisingly long way — some go back thousands of years 1, 2.

We are all used to modular construction in the analogue synth world, to the extent that there’s an accepted standard for it in EuroRack. But the same techniques are just as useful wherever el… ...

The example code is in Verilog and there’s even a case where a CPU cooperates with the (simulated) analog computer. At one time, it wasn’t clear that analog computers wouldn’t take over the ...

Analog computers represented constants and variables with proportional analog voltage levels. These were then processed by various electronic circuits that performed the mathematical operations in ...

Joint Stanford–UCD paper published in Nature Physics reveals highly-specialized analogue computers are a major step on the road to world’s quantum computing goals.

Theory for metamaterials that act as an analog computer Date: January 9, 2014 Source: University of Pennsylvania Summary: A new study shows that metamaterials can be designed to do "photonic ...

Analogue computers were limited in precision by the materials available at the time – for example, anything requiring moving parts for computation was limited by how small those parts could be made.
