Researchers predict quantum computer circuits that will no longer need extremely cold temperatures to function could become a reality after about a decade. Army researchers predict quantum computer ...

Researchers at Plymouth University have built a musical bio-computer. It contains an analogue computing circuit with components grown from a slime mould. When electrical impulses are sent to the mould ...

Google and others have developed smart clothing with built-in integrated circuits, but what if the textile itself formed the circuit? That's the idea behind The Embroidered Computer, an interactive ...

The human brain is an amazing computing machine. Weighing only three pounds or so, it can process information a thousand times faster than the fastest supercomputer, store a thousand times more ...

The University of Utah has made a microcircuit capable of surviving high levels of radiation. The university previously made this tiny micro-electro-mechanical system capable of cutting a single hair.

Quantum mechanics allows for some very strange things, like the teleportation of information and computers that can break even the toughest codes. Recently, scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute ...

A team of European physicists has developed an integrated circuit that can build itself. The work, appearing in this week's Nature 1, is an important step towards its ultimate goal — a self-assembling ...

Integrated circuits are the "brain" in computers, cell phones, and many other electronic devices. Scientists have demonstrated substantial improvements in integrated circuits, also known as silicon ...

THE HISTORY Of computers is often told as a history of objects, from the abacus to the Babbage engine up through the code-breaking machines of World War II. In fact, it is better understood as a ...

You didn't think scientists would let IBM's "world's smallest computer" boast go unchallenged, did you? Sure enough, University of Michigan has produced a temperature sensing 'computer' measuring 0.04 ...
