There was a time when virtually all keyboards relied on hefty mechanical switches rather than the flimsy rubber domes that lurk beneath most modern alternatives. Massive, spring-driven monstrosities ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could soon outperform classical computers on some complex computational problems. These computers rely on ...

Ralph Merkle, Robert Freitas and others have a theoretical design for a molecular mechanical computer that would be 100 billion times more energy efficient than the most energy efficient conventional ...

Up until now computer designs that have been theoretically known have been less energy efficient than the human brain. We could project supercomputers that could reach an exaFLOP and perhaps a ...

(Nanowerk News) Taking a page from the past, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists and engineers are combining mechanical computing with 3D printing as part of an effort to create ...

After your purchase from desktop computer deals or gaming PC deals, make sure that you still have some cash available to upgrade your accessories. A solid keyboard is a luxury that most people should ...

The first computers were built using electro-mechanical components, unlike today’s modern electronic systems. Alan Turing’s cryptanalysis multiplier and Konrad Zuse’s Z2 were invented and built in the ...

(Nanowerk News) A collaborative consortium hopes to build the world’s first fully functioning nano-electro-mechanical (NEM) relay-based processor targeting an energy efficiency that cannot be matched ...

IonQ's quantum computing approach yields more accurate results. Rigetti Computing has not yet been advanced to the next stage of a key government-funded quantum computing benchmarking initiative.

Every year, Thomas Kinsman, a senior lecturer in RIT’s department of computer science, dedicates months of his time building demos for an “Interactive Computing Zoo” to engage and educate visitors to ...
