I grew up in the 1990s. Like many suburban schools of that era, my high school invested in a computer lab for its students. The lab had a scanner, an early webcam, and a bevy of Mac Classics running ...

The race to build artificial intelligence is driven by little silicon chips called GPUs, which were originally created for video games. A drawing of a GPU chip Tech companies are now packing GPUs — ...

To advance neuromorphic computing, some researchers are looking at analog improvements -- advancing not just software, but hardware too. Research shows a promising new way to store and transmit ...

Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are ...

Anyone with a basic understanding on how computers work knows that the more powerful the device’s chips get, the hotter they run. When this happens, the computer needs to use even more energy to power ...

A quantum bit inspired by Schrödinger’s cat has managed to resist making errors for an unusually long time in a quantum computing experiment. This may make it a promising building block for more ...

"In Artificial Unintelligence, Meredith Broussard argues that our collective enthusiasm for applying computer technology to every aspect of life has resulted in a tremendous amount of poorly designed ...

Quantum computers are coming. And when they arrive, they are going to upend the way we protect sensitive data. Unlike classical computers, quantum computers harness quantum mechanical effects — like ...
