Optical fibers carry voice and data at high speeds across long distances, and IBM Research scientists are bringing this speed and capacity somewhere they haven’t previously gone: inside data centers and onto circuit boards, where […]

Huawei Technologies Co.’s latest flagship smartphone is powered by a chip little different from the one that set off alarm bells in Washington a year ago, signaling a slowdown in the Chinese company’s tech advances.This […]

Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS, in collaboration with HOLOEYE Photonics AG, have developed a compact LCOS microdisplay with high refresh rates that enables improved optical modulation. This innovative microdisplay will be […]

To make sense of the world, most humans rely in great part on their vision. Recent research suggests that the human visual system is hierarchical, meaning that it processes information on different levels, ranging from […]

Building the current crop of artificial intelligence chatbots has relied on specialized computer chips pioneered by Nvidia, which dominates the market and made itself the poster child of the AI boom.This post was originally published […]

Two-and-a-half years after breaking the exascale barrier, the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory continues to set new standards for its computing speed and performance.This post was originally published on […]

The Bay Area has just won a coveted crown in computing, with a massive new machine at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory deemed the most powerful system in the world.This post was originally published on this […]

A paper published in Proceedings of the 37th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology, by researchers in Carnegie Mellon University’s Human-Computer Interaction Institute, introduces EgoTouch, a tool that uses artificial intelligence to […]

Computers are essential for solving complex problems in fields such as scheduling, logistics, and route planning, but traditional computers struggle with large-scale combinatorial optimization, as they can’t efficiently process vast numbers of possibilities. To address […]

Can we ever see too much data? Yes, actually. In certain situations, visual overload can paralyze decision-making. Adding one more screen, one more monitor, one more chart, table, ticker or graph becomes counterproductive.This post was […]
