It's been a long time since Alice Charton got a good look at a human face. There are plenty of people moving through her world, of course—her husband, her friends, her doctors, her neighbors—but ...

A recent report by a team of physicists at McGill University concluded that in order to build smaller yet still high-performing computer chips, designers will need to focus on better understanding how ...

Current copper wiring in computer chips struggles to carry electricity efficiently as circuits shrink to the nanoscale, leading to a process that generates heat and limits performance. These materials ...

They may be better known for stir-fries than supercomputing, but shiitake mushrooms have now been harnessed to function as living processors, storing and recalling data like a semiconductor chip but ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how the world builds and uses computer chips. From massive data centers to devices at the edge of the network, AI requires chips continuing to get faster, ...

There's a RAM shortage at the moment. RAM, as in random access memory. The memory computer keeps immediately at hand, so it can perform tasks quickly. How can that be? Well, as with so much these days ...
