ParAlleL: A Novel Population-Based Approach to Biological Logic Gates.

ABSTRACT: In vivo logic gates have proven difficult to combine into larger devices. Our cell-based logic system, ParAlleL, decomposes a large circuit into a collection of small subcircuits working in parallel, each subcircuit responding to a different combination of inputs. A final global output is then generated by a combination of the responses. Using ParAlleL, for the first time a completely functional 3-bit full adder and full subtractor were generated using Escherichia coli cells, as well as a calculator-style display that shows a numeric result, from 0 to 7, when the proper 3 bit binary inputs are introduced into the system. ParAlleL demonstrates the use of a parallel approach for the design of cell-based logic gates that facilitates the generation and analysis of complex processes, without the need for complex genetic engineering.

Logic Gates Based on DNA Aptamers.

Project description:DNA bio-computing is an emerging trend in modern science that is based on interactions among biomolecules. Special types of DNAs are aptamers that are capable of selectively forming complexes with target compounds. This review is devoted to a discussion of logic gates based on aptamers for the purposes of medicine and analytical chemistry. The review considers different approaches to the creation of logic gates and identifies the general algorithms of their creation, as well as describes the methods of obtaining an output signal which can be divided into optical and electrochemical. Aptameric logic gates based on DNA origami and DNA nanorobots are also shown. The information presented in this article can be useful when creating new logic gates using existing aptamers and aptamers that will be selected in the future.

Non-Newtonian droplet-based microfluidics logic gates.

Project description:Droplet-based microfluidic logic gates have many applications in diagnostic assays and biosciences due to their automation and the ability to be cascaded. In spite of many bio-fluids, such as blood exhibit non-Newtonian characteristics, all the previous studies have been concerned with the Newtonian fluids. Moreover, none of the previous studies has investigated the operating regions of the logic gates. In this research, we consider a typical AND/OR logic gate with a power-law fluid. We study the effects of important parameters such as the power-law index, the droplet length, the capillary number, and the geometrical parameters of the microfluidic system on the operating regions of the system. The results indicate that AND/OR states mechanism function in opposite directions. By increasing the droplet length, the capillary number and the power-law index, the operating region of AND state increases while the operating region of OR state reduces. Increasing the channel width will decrease the operating region of AND state while it increases the operating region of OR state. For proper operation of the logic gate, it should work in both AND/OR states appropriately. By combining the operating regions of these two states, the overall operating region of the logic gate is achieved.

Parallel repulsive logic regression with biological adjacency.

Project description:Logic regression, an extension of generalized linear models with Boolean combinations of binary variables as predictors, is a useful tool in exploring interactions among single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genome-wide association studies. However, since the search space defined by all possible combinations of SNPs, their complements, and logical operators in Boolean expressions can be exceedingly large in such studies, objective function optimization is slow and likely to be trapped in many local solutions, resulting in model over-fitting. We introduce a new search algorithm, parallel repulsive logic regression (PRLR), to efficiently estimate parameters of a logic regression to find a best model within the large space of SNP interactions by incorporating: (i) relevant biological adjacency matrix between SNPs to define similarity of estimation paths or trees, which are derived from physical SNP positions on chromosomes and/or memberships in biological gene pathways; and (ii) two repulsive forces to counter the similarity between and within estimation paths considered in parallel, which are introduced as penalty terms in the objective function. We compare our method's performance for identifying biologically-meaningful SNP interactions through simulations and with real genetic-epidemiological data. PRLR's detection-accuracy measures outperform existing approaches, especially in terms of positive predictive value and sensitivity for detecting SNP-SNP interactions.

Nanowire network-based multifunctional all-optical logic gates.

Project description:All-optical nanoscale logic components are highly desired for various applications because light may enable logic functions to be performed extremely quickly without the generation of heat and cross-talk. All-optical computing at nanoscale is therefore a promising alternative but requires the development of a complete toolbox capable of various logic functionalities. We demonstrate nanoscale all-optical switches by exploiting the polarization-dependent light emission property of crossbar InP and AlGaAs nanowire networks. These networks can perform various logic operations, such as AND, OR, NAND, and NOR binary logic functions. Furthermore, on the basis of these logic operations, our networks successfully enable all-optical arithmetic binary calculations, such as n-bit addition, to be conducted. Our results underscore the promise of assembled semiconductor nanowire networks as a building block of on-chip all-optical logic components for future nanophotonics.

Scalable radiative thermal logic gates based on nanoparticle networks.

Project description:We discuss the design of the thermal analog of logic gates in systems made of a collection of nanoparticles. We demonstrate the possibility to perform NOT, OR, NOR, AND and NAND logical operations at submicrometric scale by controlling the near-field radiative heat exchanges between their components. We also address the important point of the role played by the inherent non-additivity of radiative heat transfer in the combination of logic gates. These results pave the way to the development of compact thermal circuits for information processing and thermal management.

Logic reversibility and thermodynamic irreversibility demonstrated by DNAzyme-based Toffoli and Fredkin logic gates.

Project description:The Toffoli and Fredkin gates were suggested as a means to exhibit logic reversibility and thereby reduce energy dissipation associated with logic operations in dense computing circuits. We present a construction of the logically reversible Toffoli and Fredkin gates by implementing a library of predesigned Mg(2+)-dependent DNAzymes and their respective substrates. Although the logical reversibility, for which each set of inputs uniquely correlates to a set of outputs, is demonstrated, the systems manifest thermodynamic irreversibility originating from two quite distinct and nonrelated phenomena. (i) The physical readout of the gates is by fluorescence that depletes the population of the final state of the machine. This irreversible, heat-releasing process is needed for the generation of the output. (ii) The DNAzyme-powered logic gates are made to operate at a finite rate by invoking downhill energy-releasing processes. Even though the three bits of Toffoli's and Fredkin's logically reversible gates manifest thermodynamic irreversibility, we suggest that these gates could have important practical implication in future nanomedicine.

NanoThermoMechanical AND and OR Logic Gates.

Project description:Today's electronics cannot perform in harsh environments (e.g., elevated temperatures and ionizing radiation environments) found in many engineering applications. Based on the coupling between near-field thermal radiation and MEMS thermal actuation, we presented the design and modeling of NanoThermoMechanical AND, OR, and NOT logic gates as an alternative, and showed their ability to be combined into a full thermal adder to perform complex operations. In this work, we introduce the fabrication and characterization of the first ever documented Thermal AND and OR logic gates. The results show thermal logic operations can be achieved successfully through demonstrated and easy-to-manufacture NanoThermoMechanical logic gates.

Terahertz Spoof Surface Plasmonic Logic Gates.

Project description:Logic gates are important components in integrated photonic circuitry. Here, a series of logic gates to achieve fundamental logic operations based on linear interference in spoof surface plasmon polariton waveguides are demonstrated at terahertz frequencies. A metasurface-based plasmonic source is adopted to couple free-space terahertz radiation into surface waves, followed by a funnel-shaped metasurface to efficiently couple the surface waves to the waveguides built on a domino structure. A single Mach-Zehnder waveguide interferometer can work as logic gates for four logic functions: AND, NOT, OR, and XOR. By cascading two such interferometers, NAND and NOR operations can also be achieved. Experimental investigations are supported by numerical simulations, and good agreement is obtained. The logic gates have compact sizes and high intensity contrasts for the output "1" and "0" states. More complicated functions can be envisioned and will be of great value for future terahertz integrated computing.

Bottom-Gate Approach for All Basic Logic Gates Implementation by a Single-Type IGZO-Based MOS Transistor with Reduced Footprint.

Project description:Logic functions are the key backbone in electronic circuits for computing applications. Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) logic gates, with both n-type and p-type channel transistors, have been to date the dominant building blocks of logic circuitry as they carry obvious advantages over other technologies. Important physical limits are however starting to arise, as the transistor-processing technology has begun to meet scaling-down difficulties. To address this issue, there is the crucial need for a next-generation electronics era based on new concepts and designs. In this respect, a single-type channel multigate MOS transistor (SMG-MOS) is introduced holding the two important aspects of processing adaptability and low static dissipation of CMOS. Furthermore, the SMG-MOS approach strongly reduces the footprint down to 40% or even less area needed for current CMOS logic function in the same processing technology node. Logic NAND, NOT, AND, NOR, and OR gates, which typically require a large number of CMOS transistors, can be realized by a single SMG-MOS transistor. Two functional examples of SMG-MOS are reported here with their analysis based both on simulations and experiments. The results strongly suggest that SMG-MOS can represent a facile approach to scale down complex integrated circuits, enabling design flexibility and production rates ramp-up.
