When given a target functionality, usually a particular pattern of heat conductivity, this algorithm can slowly hone in on the best possible design. The researchers refer to this as "inverse design," ...

The power of modern computing is hard to overstate. Your smartphone has more than 100,000 times the power of the computer ...

"Sushi-rolled" fiber chips are turning ordinary clothing into powerful, durable computers capable of image recognition and health monitoring.

Physicist Michio Kaku, often called the Yoda of science, explains the revolutionary impact that quantum computing will ...

Silicon transistors allowed computers to shrink from the size of houses to watches in a short time, but engineers are facing ...

Gemini lands in Chrome and Search, Yahoo launches Scout, Apple previews smarter Siri, and Microsoft debuts Maia 200 chips.

China is accelerating efforts in optical computer chips to overcome chip restrictions and lead the next wave of AI innovation.

The museum is based near Mountain View, California, which is quite the trek unless you live somewhat locally. Still, it's got ...

Semiconductor chips that process light rather than electricity could boost processing speeds and reduce energy use.

And while the technology sounds impressive now, it seems to be at the limits of what current laboratory photolithography can provide. At present, a 1 mm fibre chip can potentially integrate tens of ...

Traditional chips depend on flat, inflexible wafers; the Fudan team replaced these with elastic substrates capable of hosting resistors, capacitors, diodes, and transistors. Once patterned, each ...

Transistors are tiny components, but they power almost every piece of modern technology. From smartphones to satellites, ...
