Each thing that went wrong is both important and worthy of discussion, but at the same time unimportant.

An international team of researchers recently unveiled an algorithm that can be scaled to simulate the human brain's entire neural network. But there's a slight catch.

The Guide to Greener Electronics is an analysis of what 17 of the world’s leading consumer electronics companies are doing to address their environmental impacts, and where Greenpeace thinks work still needs to be done.

The Plasmodium Consortium seeks to get answers to America’s problems from slime molds. By Robby Berman.

Chip is so tiny you’ll need a microscope to see it

You probably scratched your head last year if you read about time crystals, likely 2017’s most esoteric, widely covered popular science story. Even if you understood how they worked, you might not have known what use they could have... By Ryan F. Mandelbaum.

HP announced a new line of laptops, displays, and all-in-one desktops resistant to intense cleaning materials for people who work in hospitals and doctors’ offices. There are three products. There’s HP’s EliteOne 800 Healthcare Edition All-in-One desktop, there’s the 27-inch HP Healthcare Edition Clinical Review Display, and there’s the EliteBook 840 Healthcare Edition notebook.

With their insensitivity to decoherence, Majorana particles could become stable building blocks of quantum computers. The problem is that they only occur under very special circumstances. Now, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have succeeded in manufacturing a component that is able to host the sought-after particles.

A reasonably secure OS. A Video Tour of Qubes 3.1 by Matthew Wilson.

So Microsoft is working on "a newer version of the product rather than a security update".

Twenty years after the US tried to break up Microsoft, a new crop of giants rule technology in an uneasy balance. And the government seems unable to stop them.

Earlier today we posted Mike Masnick's post about the passing of John Perry Barlow, but Mike Godwin, who was EFF's first lawyer among other things, sent over his memories of Barlow as well, which are well worth reading. It’s the...

Researchers demonstrated a new memristor technology that can store up to 128 discernible memory states per switch, almost four times more than previously reported.

Yes, it’s driven by greed — but the mania for cryptocurrency could wind up building something much more important than wealth.

The world is rapidly "running out of computing capacity", the head of tech giant Microsoft has warned. Satya Nadella said at the World Economic Forum in Davos that superfast quantum computers were needed to solve some of the most difficult problems. Mr Nadella cited the quest to create a catalyst that can absorb carbon, in order to help tackle climate change. This, he cautioned, would likely not be achieved without an increase in computer processing power.

The inventor of hypertext talks about the birth of personal computing, the web, and how to think beyond the currently possible

The administration says two new Dell systems being added to existing IBM and Cray clusters in Virginia and Florida data centers will boost its compute power by one third and storage by 60 percent, extending its visibility into future weather from 10 to 16 days.

If the last week has led you to be wary of having an Intel CPU powering your PC then you might want to get excited, because it seems like AMD might have started actually making CPUs you’d want instead of having Intel inside. It started last year with the announcement of Ryzen desktop CPUs. We found them to be cheaper and faster than comparably priced CPUs from Intel. Then late in the fall AMD announced a new line of mobile-based APUs—which is what they call their CPUs with integrated graphics.

Back in November, longtime rivals Intel and AMD shocked the computing world when the two companies announced that they’d be teaming up to create laptop chips that combined Intel’s Core line of processors with AMD’s Radeon graphics. And now at CES 2018, the first fruits of that partnership have been revealed, in the form of a pair of Intel Core i5 and i7 chips powered by discrete AMD Radeon RX Vega M GPUs. Along with the processor and GPU, each unit also has 4GB of HMB2 VRAM onboard, which Intel says should help drastically save space internally for laptops while increasing battery life.
