Scientists cram an entire computer into a single fiber of clothing — and you can even put it through your washing machine
By Keumars Afifi-Sabet published
A new fiber computer contains eight devices that work together as a single computing entity, and scientists want to weave many of them so they can work together as cohesive smart garments.

China's 'Darwin Monkey' is the world's largest brain-inspired supercomputer
By Owen Hughes published
Darwin Monkey or 'Wukong' features over 2 billion artificial neurons and more than 100 billion synapses — similar to the neural structure of a macaque.

Japan launches its first homegrown quantum computer
By Keumars Afifi-Sabet published
Japan's first entirely homegrown quantum computer uses superconducting qubits and components made entirely domestically.

IBM and Moderna have simulated the longest mRNA pattern without AI — they used a quantum computer instead
By Tristan Greene published
Scientists used IBM's R2 Heron quantum processor to predict the secondary protein structure of a 60-nucleotide-long mRNA sequence.

'Like a master Tetris player': Scientists invent quantum virtual machines — they'll slash turnaround times from days to hours
By Tristan Greene published
New quantum computing system allows multiple users to run programs simultaneously using virtual machines.

Scientists use quantum machine learning to create semiconductors for the first time – and it could transform how chips are made
By Becca Caddy published
Researchers have found a way to make the chip design and manufacturing process much easier — by tapping into a hybrid blend of artificial intelligence and quantum computing.

Scientists hit quantum computer error rate of 0.000015% — a world record achievement that could lead to smaller and faster machines
By Tristan Greene published
The record-breaking achievement could lead to practical, utility-scale quantum computers that are both smaller and faster.

This obscure, 80-year-old machine might be the key to unlocking the full potential of AI today
By Martin Rudorfer published
Opinion Leading American engineer and scientist Vannevar Bush thought that the memex was the answer to information nightmare of the 1940s.

Scientists achieve 'magic state' quantum computing breakthrough 20 years in the making
By Keumars Afifi-Sabet published
Scientists demonstrate a process called "magic state distillation" in logical qubits for the first time, meaning we can now build quantum computers that are both error-free and more powerful than supercomputers.
