From the earliest mechanical devices to the most advanced quantum computers of the present, the history of computing is a fascinating trip spanning thousands of years. Let’s explore the significant ...

From the bulky PCs of 1993 to today’s ultra-powerful gaming rigs, computer chips have evolved at lightning speed. Early ...

The first electronic computer was built during the 1940s by John Vincent Atanasoff, a professor of physics and mathematics at Iowa State University, and one of his students, Clifford E. Berry. But the ...

On May 7, 1981, influential physicist Richard Feynman gave a keynote speech at Caltech. Feynman opened his talk by politely rejecting the very notion of a keynote speech, instead saying that he had ...

Edge computing is one of the most important technologies of modern times. Thanks to the edge, organizations can leverage data-consuming innovations like artificial intelligence, biometrics, the ...

In November 1970 a patent was granted for a device dubbed an “X-Y position indicator for a display system”. Amidst the plethora of patents granted that year, you would’ve been forgiven for not ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A substrate does not have to be solid to compute. It is possible to make a computer purely from a liquid. I demonstrate this using a variety ...

Neuromorphic computing aims to replicate the functional architecture of the human brain by integrating electronic components that mimic synaptic and neuronal behaviours. Central to this endeavour are ...

Imagine a future where computers can learn and make decisions in ways that mimic human thinking, but at a speed and efficiency that are orders of magnitude greater than the current capability of ...

When research firms report on current and future sales of PCs these days, you can be sure that the numbers won’t be pretty. And sure enough, Gartner is saying it expects worldwide PC shipments to drop ...
