But shuttling data between the processor and memory eats up time and energy, particularly for data-hungry artificial-intelligence (ai) models. An analysis by Amir Gholami and colleagues at the ...

2023 was the year the world at large was introduced to the term spatial computing. Even though Apple didn’t invent the term, its use of it while announcing the Vision Pro instead of “mixed-reality” or ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Tim Bajarin covers the tech industry’s impact on PC and CE markets. When I joined Creative Strategies in 1981, I was initially to ...

Digital computing has become the norm in our everyday lives, but their limits are being reached in terms of computing power. Can analog computing step in and outperform them? This is what a recent ...

A computer that uses light rather than digital switches for calculations could help reduce the energy demands of artificial intelligence (AI), according to a new study. The scientists who invented the ...

While digital computers have become entrenched in our daily lives, a new analog quantum computer offers a stark contrast in both its design and capabilities. A team of physicists from Stanford ...

German engineer and inventor Konrad Zuse is considered as the inventor of the modern computer but was frustrated in his attempts to secure a patent ...

You don’t need 0s and 1s to perform computations, and in some cases it’s better to avoid them. Computing today is almost entirely digital. The vast informational catacombs of the internet, the ...

A team of engineers has proven that their analog computing device, called a memristor, can complete complex, scientific computing tasks while bypassing the limitations of digital computing. A team of ...

When old tech dies, it usually stays dead. No one expects rotary phones or adding machines to come crawling back from oblivion. Floppy diskettes, VHS tapes, cathode-ray tubes—they shall rest in peace.

Forget digital. The future of A.I. is … analog? At least, that’s the assertion of Mythic, an A.I. chip company that, in its own words, is taking “a leap forward in performance in power” by going back ...

As their technology advances, digitals signs are becoming more prevalent and much easier to use. In fact, the industry has quickly become a $30 billion one in just five years. Because it’s changing so ...
