| Fuzzy Logic | Fuzzy Logic | Bart Kosko & Satoru Isaka |
The binary logic of modern computers often falls short when describing the vagueness of the real world. Fuzzy logic offers more graceful alternatives. |
| Certainty from Uncertainty | Quantum Computing | Charles H Bennett | Quantum mechanics is best known for its uncertainty principle, but now physicists and computer scientists have found that quantum mechanics can also serve as a source of certainty. |
| Parallel Power | Quantum Computing | With their multiple personalities, quantum states could form the heart of a massively parallel computer. | |
| A Subway called Turing | AI Computers | Ian Stewart | |
| A new kind of Cipher | Cryptography | Martin Gardner | Few persons can be made to believe that it is not quite an easy thing to invent a method of secret writing which shall baffle investigation. Yet it may be roundly asserted that human ingenuity cannot concoct a cipher which human ingenuity cannot resolve. |
| Circuits get Chaos in Sync | Electronics | Joseph Neff & Thomas L. Carroll | Exploiting chaos in electronic circuits to encode and synchronize circuits. |
| Mastering Chaos | Chaos Theory | William L. Ditto & Louis M. Pecora | It is now possible to control some systems that behave. Engineers can use chaos to stabilize lasers, chaotically electronic circuits and even the hearts of animals. |
| It's bad to talk | Technology | Jenny McCartney | Children don't care:They simply love mobile phones with a passion . |
| But first...a word about MIDI | MIDI | Still confused by MIDI? [Includes "What is MIDI?" by Jon E.Eiche] | |
| Sweet,sweet,music | MIDI | Roger Howorth | Sound editing systems need the MIDI link to make music. |
