Some computers are ready for a new lease on life. Computer companies come out with new machines every year: faster, better, more powerful, more efficient, and sometimes even cheaper. But what do you ...

Ground has been broken on developing “computers” made of DNA. Researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China demonstrated that they could build DNA integrated circuits (DICs) for ...

For the past year, I kept bringing the same story to my editor: quantum computers are on the edge of becoming useful for scientific discovery. Of course, that has always been the goal. The idea of ...

In June, an IBM computing executive claimed quantum computers were entering the “utility” phase, in which high-tech experimental devices become useful. In September, Australia’s chief scientist Cathy ...

Quantum computers are poised to become computational superpowers, but researchers have long sought a viable problem that confers a quantum advantage — something only a quantum computer can solve. Only ...

In the search for less energy-hungry artificial intelligence, some scientists are exploring living computers. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

Computers have been beating chess masters for several years now, and just last month, a computer dominated the TV quiz show Jeopardy. What's to stop a computer from achieving human-like consciousness?

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

What can quantum computers do that their traditional counterparts absolutely cannot? This is one of the biggest questions facing the fast-growing industry, and now we finally have an unassailable ...
