For decades, computers have relied on digital logic and binary code. That approach is now running into physical and economic ...

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 ...

Researchers have made a major advance in quantum computing with a new device that is nearly 100 times smaller than the ...

For decades, scientists have hunted for materials that defy conventional ideas of magnetism. Most magnetic materials, like the ones found in fridge magnets, behave in predictable ways. Their atomic ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
