This research developed synthetic genes that use Boolean logic gates to achieve specific patterns of gene expression within a plant.

Modern digital logic, which is used in computers and cell phones, is based on Boolean algebra implemented in semiconductor switch-based circuits. It uses zeroes and ones for encoding and processing ...

Eventually, Inoue notes, researchers might use similar cellular logic gates to build larger, more complex circuits that could form the basis for computers that use cells as basic units.

To demonstrate that they worked in a programmable logic array, the memristor grid was programmed to perform a Boolean sum-of-product operation.

The digital world offers many advantages over its analog relatives, the use of boolean logic among them. Some of the functions, like NOT, OR, and AND are fairly straightforward and line up nicely ...
