It is easy to apply computers to improve things we already understand. For example, instead of a piano today, you might buy a synthesizer. It looks and works — sometimes …read more Continue reading Ask Hackaday: What Can Only a Computer Do?
Quantum computers have the potential to drastically outperform traditional computers, but for now they’re mostly limited to labs and big experimental setups. Japanese researchers have now made a step towards more accessible quantum computing devices, f… Continue reading Twisted light makes for breakthrough quantum computer chip
Most of us can recall Pi to four or five digits, thanks to high school math, but now a team of Swiss scientists has broken the world record for calculating the mathematical constant. It took three and a half months and a data center’s worth of computer… Continue reading Pi calculated to 62.8 trillion digits, setting new world record
Recognizing historical significance was once the domain of librarians and museum curators, but with the meteoric rise of the memorabilia industry, a little foresight and patience can make you a lot of money these days. Returns of x10 and x100 are no lo… Continue reading Historically important computer memorabilia heading to auction
My son is growing up with computers. He’s in first grade, and had to list all of the things that he knows how to do with them. The list included …read more Continue reading Growing Up With Computers
Engineers have designed a computer processor that thwarts hackers by randomly changing its microarchitecture every few milliseconds. Known as Morpheus, the puzzling processor has now aced its first major tests, repelling hundreds of professional hacker… Continue reading Morphing computer chip repels hundreds of professional DARPA hackers
In a shining example of the inexorable march of technology, IBM has unveiled new semiconductor chips with the smallest transistors ever made. The new 2-nanometer (nm) tech allows the company to cram a staggering 50 billion transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail.

Liquid cooling is one of the most effective ways to keep computers from overheating. While the natural first choice might be a liquid that runs cold, Microsoft has now done the exact opposite, demonstrating a system to cool its cloud servers by dunking… Continue reading Microsoft’s new cooling system dunks data servers in boiling liquid
Seventy five years ago, the world was introduced to ENIAC, the first ever electronic, programmable, general purpose, digital computer, in a demonstration that not only ushered in the first glimmers of the computer age, but also shaped popular conceptio… Continue reading 75 years ago, the world’s first modern computer made its public debut
As a region that is subject to a high degree of seismic activity, tsunamis are a real and ever-present threat for the people of Japan. The teams tasked with managing and responding to these risks may soon have a powerful new tool at their disposal, in … Continue reading Supercomputer-developed AI predicts tsunami flooding in real-time on a PC
