In a new study, scientists from Argentina created a computer simulation that replicated the Antikythera mechanism's movements. The simulation incorporated errors that would arise from the ...

In the new study, submitted April 1 to the preprint server arXiv, Argentinian scientists created a computer simulation that replicated the Antikythera Mechanism's movements. This simulation ...

For the study, which was submitted to the preprint server arXiv, the researchers created a virtual simulation of the Antikythera mechanism, which approximated how the box’s gears would have fit ...

Argentinian scientists from the National University of Mar del Plata claim that the mysterious ancient mechanism is not ...

the device must have been more reliably made than their simulation shows (they stress ... the true accuracy and functionality of the Antikythera Mechanism'. Previously, British astrophysicist ...

The Antikythera mechanism, a mysterious ancient Greek device that is often called the world’s first computer, may not have functioned at all, according to a simulation of its workings.

The Antikythera mechanism is an ancient shoebox-sized device that is sometimes called the world's oldest computer for its ability to perform astronomical calculations. Discovered by sponge divers ...

These techniques allowed researchers to tell how many holes there were in one of the broken rings of the Antikythera mechanism, the ancient computer featured in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

The inspiration for the titular device in last year's blockbuster, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, was an actual archaeological artifact: the Antikythera mechanism, a 2,200-year-old bronze ...

The hand-powered "Antikythera mechanism" was retrieved in pieces from a sunken shipwreck in the Aegean sea in 1901, sparking more than a century of research into how this device was made — and why.

It wasn’t until 2006 that the Antikythera mechanism captured broader attention. That year, Mike Edmunds of Cardiff University in Wales and his team published CT scans of the fragments ...
