New research shows that advances in technology could help make future supercomputers far more energy efficient. Neuromorphic computers are modeled after the structure of the human brain, and researche ...

For decades, computers have relied on digital logic and binary code. That approach is now running into physical and economic limits. Engineers are revisiting analog computing, a method once considered ...

HANOVER, Germany -- A handful of people have seen the car of the near-future, and it looks suspiciously like a lunar land rover. Or a plane. Or a driverless vehicle. Take your choice. At auto shows ...

Krystle Vermes is a Boston-based news reporter for Android Police. She is a graduate of the Suffolk University journalism program, and has more than a decade of experience as a writer and editor in ...

Peter Shor published one of the earliest algorithms for quantum computers in 1994. Running Shor's algorithm on a hypothetical quantum computer, one could rapidly factor enormous numbers—a seemingly ...

Quantum computers will break encryption one day. But converting data into light particles and beaming them around using thousands of satellites might be one way around this problem. When you purchase ...

The encryption protecting billions of dollars, which experts once called unbreakable, no longer works. Hackers don’t need passwords. They don’t brute-force keys. They simply walk through digital ...

I offer future predictions that are a bit scary, then some weekend jokes to lighten the mood. This follows my article about the near future of information delivery with glasses rather than through a ...
