Modern computer chips generate a lot of heat—and consume large amounts of energy as a result. A promising approach to reducing this energy demand could lie in the cold, as highlighted by a new ...

A recent report by a team of physicists at McGill University concluded that in order to build smaller yet still high-performing computer chips, designers will need to focus on better understanding how ...

For many years, the US company Nvidia shaped the foundations of modern artificial intelligence. Its graphics processing units ...

Cisco Systems Inc. is future-proofing itself for the day when quantum computing finally becomes a reality, announcing a prototype networking chip that leverages quantum mechanics to scale up the next ...

Imagine a world where the metallic innards of our computers are replaced by organic materials. Recent research has shown that this could be a reality, with mushrooms serving as an alternative to metal ...

University of Missouri researchers have devised a more efficient and precise method for manufacturing computer chips. Traditionally, engineers use a technique known as atomic layer deposition (ALD) to ...

Right now, AI is quickly transforming everything from content creation and cybersecurity to drug discovery and supply chains. But beneath all the buzz around ChatGPT, autonomous agents, and ...

Engineers at the University of Delaware have uncovered a way to bridge magnetism and electricity through magnons—tiny waves that carry information without electrical current. These magnetic waves can ...

Richard Feynman, the iconic physicist and one of the progenitors of quantum computing, famously said in 1981: “Nature isn’t classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you’d ...

They may be better known for stir-fries than supercomputing, but shiitake mushrooms have now been harnessed to function as living processors, storing and recalling data like a semiconductor chip but ...

In a nutshell: Researchers at The Ohio State University have demonstrated that common fungi, such as shiitake mushrooms, can process and store digital information – a finding that could help shape the ...
