The long-debated idea that we might all be living in a computer simulation—popularized by science fiction films like The Matrix—has taken a major hit.

Recent technological advances have opened new possibilities for neuroscience research, allowing researchers to map the brain's structure and synaptic connectivity (i.e., the junctions via which ...

Researchers at tech giant IBM (IBM) have developed a new quantum algorithm that shows a notable speed advantage over the best ...

As David Patterson observed in 1980, “A RISC potentially gains in speed merely from a simpler design.” Patterson’s principle of simplicity underpins a new alternative to speculation: A deterministic, ...
