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 ...

Think, for example, of temperature, voltage, speed and weight as forms of continuous data. When making computations, analog computers are thus immune to rounding errors. Our digital computers — which ...

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 ...

Nevertheless, it was and still is a cool technology. Analog computers represented constants and variables with proportional analog voltage levels. These were then processed by various electronic ...

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 ...

Digital computers work by crunching binary numbers through clockwork-like sequences of arithmetic. Analog computers operate more like a plumbing system, with electrical current in place of water.

Archaeology & History A New Study Shakes Up Our Understanding of the World’s First Analog Computer Researchers have uncovered surprising insights into the Antikythera mechanism.

DARPA has issued a questionable call to return to some of the analog concepts of yesteryear, only using new modern advances in hardware.
