The new network will give us a superfast and secure internet, making our current model look like a 1971 Pinto.
'It opens up a completely new tool chest for scientists and developers,' said D-Wave CEO Vern Brownell
Scientists have developed a new material, called 'rewritable magnetic charge ice,' that permits an unprecedented degree of control over local magnetic fields and could pave the way for new computing technologies.
A few years ago, researchers from Germany and Japan were able to simulate one percent of human brain activity for a single second. It took the processing power of one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers to make that happen.
The substance that provides energy to all the cells in our bodies, Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), may also be able to power the next generation of supercomputers. The discovery opens doors to the creation of biological supercomputers that are about the size of a book.
It's impressive to see how thin some laptops have become these days, but that's nothing compared to the ultra-thin machines of the future – which may be closer to reality thanks to a new chip production breakthrough from MIT.
Engineers have successfully married electrons and photons within a single-chip microprocessor, a landmark development that opens the door to ultrafast, low-power data crunching.
Processors using quantum mechanics are reportedly achieving much greater problem-solving speed.
US scientists create a computer model that enables computers to recognise and draw simple alphabet symbols that are indistinguishable from those created by humans.
Google has been sharing more details about its quantum computing project, which it runs in partnership with NASA.
How tiny can a computer get and what can it do? Digital sensors are already traveling inside human bodies. Will shrinking sizes eventually do away with the bulky devices we use now?
(PhysOrg.com) -- A research project at Microsoft Research Cambridge has brought forth a prototype called Holodesk, which lets you manipulate virtual objects with your hand. You literally "get your hands on" the virtual display. According to the official description from its creators, there is at work a "novel real-time algorithm for representing hands and other physical objects" allowing physically realistic interaction between real and virtual 3-D objects.
École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) physicists have developed a new theory that shows that dot symmetry in quantum dots (semiconductors that
A new type of integrated circuit may be so energy efficient that it could run simply by harvesting energy from the environment.
A new computer hardware prototyping board, designed in Crete, has been successfully tested. Sixty four copies of it are currently being built, to be subsequently interconnected to each other, in order to make a prototype of a future architecture -- a half-a-thousand-processor parallel
