Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin and the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter have made a remarkable discovery that could revolutionize the field…
Quantum computing company Quantinuum recently announced a quantum computer that it claims has outperformed Google's supercomputer by 100 times. Google's 2019 result uses a specific test called the linear cross-entropy…
The turnaround in the global PC market continues to gather momentum as hype around artificial intelligence computers grows and corporate customers start buying laptops and desktops. According to early data…
Zoom in / A single logic qubit is built from a large collection of hardware qubits. One of the more amazing things about quantum computing is that the field, while…
Sam Dilavou, a postdoctoral fellow in the Durian Research Group in the School of Arts and Sciences, built the components of this contrasted local learning network, an analog system that…
The Antikythera Mechanism, an ingenious calculator created 2,200 years ago, has inspired awe and fascination since it was discovered from a shipwreck near a Greek island in 1901. Generations of…
The PC market entered a new era last month with the launch of Windows laptops powered by Qualcomm'c (NASDAQ: QCOM) hand-based central processing units (CPUs). This isn't the first time…
Special techniques used to study waves in the universe may have helped researchers solve an ancient mystery.Statistical modeling methods that were developed to study gravitational waves have been used to…
We’ve all seen it. The small rotating symbol warning players against impatient shutdown actions. “Do not turn off your system when this symbol is displayed,” reads the message often seen when loading a game (or some other version of those words). The subtext is clear. The saving process is delicate, and if you interrupt this invisible ritual, the data that is saved in some folder deep inside your computer will be damaged, destroyed, broken. You will lose all your progress, all your precious swords and achievements.
But is this true? How likely is it? really suffer catastrophic losses of shotgun shells? To find out, I decided to spend a very tedious afternoon turning my gaming system off and on during multiple games. Was that a good idea? I do not know. I’m a gamer, not an idea guy.
New research into ripples in the fabric of space-time suggests that a nearly 2,000-year-old cosmic calculator followed the lunar calendar instead of the solar one.The hand-operated "Antikythera Mechanism" was recovered…
