Microsoft Research has built a prototype computer that doesn’t rely on electrons zipping through silicon but on beams of light. The machine, called an analog optical computer (AOC), is designed to ...

Cisco has shown a Universal Quantum Switch prototype designed to connect different quantum computers and sensors over ...

Cambridge scientists have developed a new prototype for computer memory that could make for faster chips that could hold up to 100 times more data. The system is made up of barium bridges between ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Traditional computers rely on electrons to perform computational tasks, but electrons can never match the speed and processing ...

Dr. Joseph S. Friedman and his colleagues at The University of Texas at Dallas created a computer prototype that learns patterns and makes predictions using fewer training computations than ...

Microsoft has built a prototype computer that uses light and analog signals instead of traditional binary computing. The system, developed in Cambridge, U.K., is designed to handle optimization tasks ...

Sony has developed a prototype computer board based on the Cell processor, the same high-power chip used in the PlayStation 3, and will show it at a conference in the United States next week. The Cell ...

Cisco has presented a research prototype for networking quantum computers. It is intended to convert and transmit ...
