Most recent advances in artificial-intelligence systems such as speech- or face-recognition programs have come courtesy of neural networks, densely interconnected meshes of simple information processors…
Most sensitive web transactions are protected by public-key cryptography, a type of encryption that lets computers share information securely without first agreeing on a secret…
A collaboration between the lab of Judy Cha, the Carol and Douglas Melamed Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science, and IBM’s Watson Research…
Astrophysicists from Heidelberg, Garching, and the USA present the thus far largest and most detailed calculations of the formation and evolution of galaxies. In their…
MIT today announced the launch of the MIT Intelligence Quest, an initiative to discover the foundations of human intelligence and drive the development of technological…
Computers can beat chess champions, simulate star explosions, and forecast global climate. We are even teaching them to be infallible problem-solvers and fast learners. And…
The worldwide race to create more, better, and reliable quantum processors is progressing fast, as a team of TU Delft scientists led by Professor Vandersypen…
When it comes to processing power, the human brain just can’t be beaten. Packed within the squishy, football-sized organ are somewhere around 100 billion neurons….
Engineers worldwide have been developing alternative ways to provide greater memory storage capacity on even smaller computer chips. Previous research into two-dimensional atomic sheets for…
