Random access memories or RAMs form an important part of a computer. M Reed and his collaborators at the Yale University, USA, have built molecular switches which could be used for storing data.

Flowing fluids solve a vexing problem of computation

A new technique that promises to increase storage capacity in computers greatly

Recent computer simulations have shown that the Internet is surprisingly robust on a global scale. This means that even if up to 99 per cent of its connection

It is now possible to increase storage capacity of computers by 1,000 per cent

One of the most challenging problems in molecular biology is to model how long chains of proteins fold into three-dimensional shapes. This is crucial because the shape of the protein has a lot to do

A variant of the Melissa virus is set to strike computers on December 25
