Computers are not mechanical brains, and our brains are not biological computers. They differ in function, organization, and composition. Both have circuits, sure, but computer chips are ultimately ...
For decades, computers have relied on digital logic and binary code. That approach is now running into physical and economic limits. Engineers are revisiting analog computing, a method once considered ...
Researchers have made a major advance in quantum computing with a new device that is nearly 100 times smaller than the ...
Krystle Vermes is a Boston-based news reporter for Android Police. She is a graduate of the Suffolk University journalism program, and has more than a decade of experience as a writer and editor in ...
If you are reading this on your smartphone, its CPU (central processing unit) is running at its full speed. It is a tiny chip containing billions of the more basic units called logic gates. In the ...
Quantum computers will break encryption one day. But converting data into light particles and beaming them around using thousands of satellites might be one way around this problem. When you purchase ...
A future in which conversational computers predominate has been a staple of computer science chit-chat since the 1940s, when Alan Turing set out to build a machine that would respond like a human to ...
HANOVER, Germany -- A handful of people have seen the car of the near-future, and it looks suspiciously like a lunar land rover. Or a plane. Or a driverless vehicle. Take your choice. At auto shows ...
Quantum computers are one of the key future technologies of the 21st century. Researchers have developed a new technology for manipulating light that can be used as a basis for future optical quantum ...
