A first-of-its-kind test shows that reusing energy within a computer chip can work, thanks to two techy tricks.

PALO ALTO, Calif. — Hewlett-Packard researchers have proposed a fundamental rethinking of the modern computer for the coming era of nanoelectronics — a marriage of memory and computing power that ...

On this day in 1978, home computers were becoming more commonplace, especially for the technology-inclined.

(Nanowerk News) The silicon microchips of future quantum computers will be packed with millions, if not billions of qubits – the basic units of quantum information – to solve the greatest problems ...

There was a time when seeing an actual computer was a big deal. They were in air-conditioned rooms with raised floors and locked doors. Even at a university, you were likely only to get access to a ...

When it comes to predicting the future of technology, Stan Williams shows the traditional caution of a veteran computer scientist. But when it comes to the role silicon plays in the composition of ...

For the average consumer, the life cycle of a computer starts when the system is unboxed and plugged in and ends when it is time for an upgrade. However, a computer’s true life cycle begins from the ...

Can an electronic circuit — not much larger than a postage stamp — help to speed up U.S. farmers’ goal to feed a hungry world? It might, says Raj Khosla, if it’s taught to measure soil properties of a ...

In case you hadn't noticed, computers are hot—literally. A laptop can pump out thigh-baking heat, and data centers consume an estimated 200 terawatt-hours every year, comparable to the energy ...

Social interaction is key to survival and reproductive success in primates, including humans. Optimizing outcomes from these encounters requires a calculated approach to cooperation and ...
