The very name connotes tangibility, and so for computers, "hardware" has always been associated with the part you can touch -- the "box" and the components it contains.
Our research includes work on all the major parts of computing, including designing and building the chips and storage devices, architecture and internal communication, various types of computer designs and devices, and the displays that constitute a user's primary interface with the computer.
