When quantum computers become commonplace, current cryptographic systems will become obsolete. Scientists are racing to get ...

In February 2025, scientists successfully teleported quantum information between two quantum computers six feet apart.

The invention of the computer is often articulated like a three-act play: the idea of the computer arrives, then there is the process of how to make the computer and, finally, there is the creation.

In 1947, when Bell Labs created the transistor, we could never have imagined this invention would underpin the microprocessor, the internet, and the digital world as we know it. The same potential for ...

The machine-learning programs that underpin their ability to “see” still have blind spots—but not for much longer ...

A Swedish quantum computer is to become more widely available. A copy of the quantum computer at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden will be built using additional funding from the Knut and ...

To reduce electronic waste and cut greenhouse gas emissions from plastic, future computer chips might use a substrate made of mushrooms. This isn’t something out of the Mario Bros. movie, either. That ...

In the future, a new type of computer may be able to learn much like you do—by experience rather than endless repetition or ...
