(Nanowerk Spotlight) The pursuit of faster and more efficient computing has been a driving force in technological progress for decades. As the demand for computational power continues to grow, ...

Although it isn’t very real-world practical, researchers at Cal Tech have produced a DNA-based programmable computer. Spectrum reports that the system executes programs using a set of instructions ...

Excuse me a moment—I am going to be bombastic, over excited, and possibly annoying. The race is run, and we have a winner in the future of quantum computing. IBM, Google, and everyone else can turn in ...

The memristor array chip plugs into a custom computer chip, forming the first programmable memristor computer. The team demonstrated that it could run three standard types of machine learning ...

A quantum computer that uses ordinary atoms to perform calculations could be a rival to more exotic devices, although one of its creators says there are still challenges ahead in scaling up the ...

There are many reasons why working in Philly tech is inherently cool, but one of our favorites is that the city is the birthplace of the world’s very first all-electronic, programmable computer — the ...

Serial Kickstarter entrepreneur and electronics enthusiast Bradley Slattery has launched his seventh campaign this month which takes the form of the Digirule2, an awesome programmable binary computer ...

Most stories in the history of computing took place in one of a small number of places. The wartime code-breaking effort in Bletchley Park led to Colossus, the first programmable electronic computer.

Due to fiscal pressures, Information Technology is no longer able to replace every system that would normally be eligible for replenishment. If you are experiencing problems with your computer, please ...
