The Babylonians used separate combinations of two symbols to represent every single number from 1 to 59. That sounds pretty confusing, doesn’t it? Our decimal system seems simple by comparison, with ...

Researchers out of the University of Innsbruck have fabricated a quantum computer that leverages a complex quantum digit system as opposed to the traditional qubits. For those who may not know how a ...

While this question might sound a bit like a self-help guide for computers, it actually says something about how they work.

Memo to the developers of superfast quantum computers: give up on the familiar 1s-and-0s binary system used in conventional computers. By switching to a novel five-state system, you will find it ...

A new DNA computer calculates square roots of perfect squares up to 900. Like quantum computers, DNA computers are an exciting frontier of post-silicon computing. Where previous examples were up to 4 ...
