And Or Not: An Explanation of the Logic Gates That Define Our Gadgets

Logic gate are fundamental building blocking of digital circuits . In combination , they can be used to build up expectant networks that do complex operations — like your computer . But how , precisely , do they go ?

In the literal world , logic gate tend to assume the form of transistors — though in the yesteryear , they ’ve been create using vacuum tubes , electromagnet and even pneumatic systems . Anyway , in this video , Professor Brailsford from the University of Nottingham , explains the theory behind how the gates work — and why you should be so happy that they exist . [ Numberphile ]
