Alan Turing, a pivotal World War II codebreaker, developed the theoretical basis for modern computing and artificial intelligence. Despite his immense contributions, he was prosecuted for his ...

In conventional computing, we can draw a clean line between software and hardware. In brains, there is no such separation of different scales. In the brain, everything influences everything else, from ...

In 1999, a decade after inventing the world wide web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, a British computer scientist, imagined an intelligent version of his creation. In that vision, much of daily life—finding ...

But there’s one spec that has caused some concern among Ars staffers and others with their eyes on the Steam Machine: The GPU comes with just 8GB of dedicated graphics RAM, an amount that is steadily ...

Edward Khomotso Nkadimeng receives funding from the National Research Foundation. In most industries, maintenance is a waiting game. Things are fixed when they break. But in the 21st century, an age ...

The ball rolls across the floor because it was kicked, just as Earth orbits the sun because it is tugged by gravity. The connection between cause and effect is fundamental to how we understand the ...

Steam Machines are back for the first time since Valve teamed up with manufacturers like Alienware and Lenovo back in the 2010s. But while those original console-PC hybrids failed because of a lack of ...

Using a new computer model, scientists simulated the stripes, spots and hexagons on a species of boxfish, imperfections and all. A male ornate boxfish with distinctive, complex patterns of stripes and ...

"We have demonstrated that it is impossible to describe all aspects of physical reality using a computational theory of quantum gravity," says Dr. Faizal. "Therefore, no physically complete and ...
