The first Pentium processor was released in 1993 with 3.2 million transistors, and current chips can contain up to 20 million transistors. In order to experiment with gates, we are going to go back in time a bit and use SSI ICs. These chips are still widely available and are extremely ...

Before oil prices began to soar in 1973, oil with little refining was burned to produce electricity. This oil use could be eliminated by building nuclear power plants, or by building coal or natural gas electricity generation. Home heating was often accomplished by deliveries of diesel to ...
Solar thermal (heat) energy is a carbon-free, renewable alternative to the power we generate with fossil fuels like coal and gas. This isn't a thing of the future, either. Between 1984 and 1991, the United States built nine such plants in California's Mojave Desert, and today they ...
