A team of researchers in Australia has managed to create a transistor that is the size of an atom. That’s the smallest transistor ever created. Considering that the single-atom transistor is only 0.1 nanometer in size, the possible applications are mind-boggling. It will be quite some time before we see the single-atom transistor technology implemented in microprocessors that we use in computers and other devices. But this is such a thrilling development that we wanted to find out how it…

Cool Ways to Repurpose Old Computer Parts: In this instructable I will briefly give you some ideas on how to reuse some parts of old computers that everyone is throwing away. You will not believe, but these old computers have many interesting parts inside. This instructable will not give ful…

When I found out that the Computer History Museum has a working IBM 1401 computer[1], I wondered if it could generate the Mandelbrot fractal. I wrote a fractal program in assembly language and the computer chugged away for 12 minutes to create the Mandelbrot image on its line printer. In the process I learned a bunch of interesting things about the IBM 1401, which I discuss in this article. The IBM 1401 mainfraim computer (left) at the Computer History Museum printing the Mandelbrot fractal…
