There are many reasons why working in Philly tech is inherently cool, but one of our favorites is that the city is the birthplace of the world’s very first all-electronic, programmable computer — the ...

The memristor array chip plugs into a custom computer chip, forming the first programmable memristor computer. The team demonstrated that it could run three standard types of machine learning ...

The awesome Digirule 2U is a small 8-bit programmable binary computer created by developer Bradley Slattery. Launched via Kickstarter this month, the project is coming to the end of its campaign with ...

Many people know Philadelphia is home to the world’s first all-electronic, programmable computer. The ENIAC — for Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer — was developed at the University of ...

Excuse me a moment—I am going to be bombastic, over excited, and possibly annoying. The race is run, and we have a winner in the future of quantum computing. IBM, Google, and everyone else can turn in ...

A team of researchers in China has claimed a new record in quantum computing, saying its new computer is far more powerful than any that came before it — including the best effort by the ...

Six young women programmed the world's first all-electronic programmable computer, ENIAC, as part of a secret US WWII project. They changed the world, but were never introduced and never received ...

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are flexibly programmable computer chips that are considered very secure components in many applications. Scientists have now discovered that a critical ...
