However, bioengineers at the Stanford University have built asynchronous computerthat works on thephysicsofmoving water droplets.
The researchers designed an innovative synchronous computer that ispowered by water droplets.
Manu Prakash is an Indian by birth.
This system enacted like acomputer clockwhich is an essential component of computer.
Without a computer clock these modern computer programmed amenities cannot operate.
We already have digital computers to process information.
Our goal is not to compete with electronic computers or to operate word processors on this.
Our goal is to build a completely new class of computers that can precisely control and manipulate physical matter.
Now, developing a clock for a fluid based computer required tremendous creative thinking.
Besides being easily manipulative it also needed to be able to influence multiple droplets at a time.
As per Katsikis, the physics of the system suggests that it can be further made much smaller.
Further the system is exceptionally scalable since magnetic field has been used to control the droplets.
That lends itself very well to a variety of applications.
The details of the study that describes thewater computerhas been published inNature Physics.
The study gives all the technical details regarding the working of this innovative computer.
