The games created a new way of experiencing video games by building a 3D world in which events could unfold beyond the player’s line of sight.
Neuromorphic technology is reimagining how computers should work.
Data centres were once treated as invisible pieces of digital infrastructure. Now, they’re the focus of intense political debate.
A new facility in Queensland will allow researchers from academia and industry to test new ideas on a real quantum processor.
Weaving is one of humanity’s oldest crafts, but its patterns helped inspire early computing. Today, textile makers are using conductive yarns and digital looms to invent new kinds of technology.
A data center could get more solar power and be kept much colder in space, but it would be extremely difficult to repair and update.
As the US increases political pressure on Europe, it’s possible to imagine the continent losing access to key computing services.
Two studies show major progress in the field of photonic microchips.
Taiwanese manufacturer TSMC will begin producing the chips from the second half of this year.
In Source Code, Gates describes his early life and career. But the man dubbed ‘ruthless’ by many of his peers, is largely uncritical of his own path.
Quantum computing expert Daniel Lidar explains what problems scientists are still trying to overcome to make quantum computing useful.
Quantum computers can explore every possible solution to a problem at the same time.
Peter Kirstein had to overcome various hurdles to connect the UK to the internet, including intransigent governments, dismissive industry and the taxman.
Between AI and bingeing TV shows, we’re using more data than ever – and data centres are power hungry. Thankfully, there are some ways to optimise their electricity use.
The trailblazing engineer was co-inventor of a technique for designing computer chips that laid the groundwork for the computing revolution.
A huge investment in building an unproven quantum computer may help local science and industry, but the results are far from a sure thing.
Quantum computing has huge promise from a technical perspective, but the practical benefits are less clear.
The effects of AI’s growth on global security could be difficult to predict.
Spreadsheet-related errors can have serious consequences in the private and public sector. But what can we do to overcome them?
Apple’s phenomenal success and the field of user experience design can be traced back to the launch of the Macintosh personal computer.
