The highly symmetrical operation between these operation modes with an excellent on-current ratio of 1.03 enables three distinguishable and stable logic levels in the ternary logic gates. Moreover, ...

Python's pow builtin does binary exponentiation, if your arguments are ints. If the arguments are longs or a intermediate or final result overflows it uses left-to-right binary exponentiation or ...

Korean researchers develop ternary semiconductor tech Future semiconductors may perform logic with 0, 1, or 2 instead of the current binary system of 0 and 1 with the new technology.

This balanced ternary system is, ‘Perhaps the prettiest number system of all,’ writes Donald Knuth, and now this number system has made it into silicon as a real microprocessor.

A ternary, or base-3, computer would be odd, disturbing, but nevertheless extremely interesting, making it a great candidate for The Hackaday Prize. A base-3 computer isn’t a new thing, despite ...
