When the FORTRAN programming language debuted in 1957, it transformed how scientists and engineers programmed computers.

Your spreadsheet expertise is a secret tech superpower.

(BOSTON) -- Synthetic biologists are converting microbial cells into living devices that are able to perform useful tasks ranging from the production of drugs, fine chemicals and biofuels to detecting ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) As our digital devices handle increasingly complex computations, scientists have looked to physics for inspiration on new computing paradigms. Rather than shuttling electrical ...

Computers don’t simply "understand" code in the way humans do. They rely on a highly sophisticated series of steps to interpret, compile, and execute the instructions provided by code. In this video, ...

With backing from some of the largest technology companies, a major project called RISC-V seeks to facilitate open-source design for computer chips, offering the possibility of opening chip designs ...

The creation of the C programming language was a massive milestone for classical computing. Developed by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson at AT&T Bell Laboratories in the early 1970s, C was an easy ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Materials scientists describe in two papers how complex oxides can be used to create very energy-efficient magneto-electric spin-orbit (MESO) devices and memristive devices with reduced dimensions. As ...

Before too long, Max will be building physical logic machines driven solely by the mechanical energy of falling marbles that can add, subtract, multiply and divide. If you made the Turing Tumble big ...
