The world's earliest computer was a silk loom built in China over two millennia ago, according to a claim made by China's ...

Corn is one of the world's most important crops, critical for food, feed, and industrial applications. In 2023, corn ...

Zooming in on the auditory cortex, the researchers found three unique sets of neurons that light up while we listen to music. Two sets of neurons encode absolute pitch (individual musical notes) and ...

Every computer needs Random Access Memory (or RAM) for an operating system’s temporary storage, and there’s many ways to achieve this need for memory speed. One of the leading methods is ...

If you're anything like me, Steam's trailer function has been—for its entire lifespan—pretty much useless. Maybe I'm just cursed, but in my experience the player is laggy, impossible to scrub through, ...

When water freezes, it pushes dissolved gases out, forming tiny pockets of air, commonly known as bubbles, inside the ice. These bubbles can be egg-shaped or needle-shaped, depending on how quickly ...

New research by Google suggested that RSA encryption, a critical security feature used in securing Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), may be more susceptible to quantum computing attacks than previously ...

Scientists have developed a method to control hybrid particles called polaritons - which behave like both light and matter - in a way that is less expensive and more practical to maintain. The ...

How polaritons spin allow them to encode computer data. Changing how they spin and move thus modifies the data stored in polaritons. But such changes to polaritons have only been possible at ultra-low ...

UCLA researchers discovered that specific neurons encode time and experiences, retaining and replaying them later to form memories. These findings could aid memory-enhancing technologies and ...

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but how many numbers is a word worth? The question may sound silly, but it happens to be the foundation that underlies large language models, or LLMs—and ...
