PART I OF V The Great Digital Bet Cast your mind back to the late 1990s. Technology evangelists, in government, in schools, in Silicon Valley boardrooms, were making a very confident prediction: the ...

Scientists have successfully connected living human brain cells to a computer system and taught them to interact with the classic video game DOOM. The strange experiment marks a new step toward ...

The search for materials that can conduct electricity at room temperature without losing energy is one of the greatest and most consequential challenges of modern physics: loss-free power transmission ...

A recent study in Computers in Human Behavior provides evidence that a single smartphone pop-up derails mental focus for seven seconds. Researchers found that fragmented digital habits cause more ...

Latent spaces are abstract, high-dimensional areas within neural networks where patterns and relationships are encoded, but not readily interpretable by humans. Although latent space studies are still ...

This experiment explores the point where simple counting stopped being enough and civilization needed a better system to manage growing trade, population, and information. What begins with handmade ...

Artificial intelligence is often portrayed as a tool that replaces human work, but new research from Swansea University suggests a far more exciting role: creative collaborator. In a large study with ...

Thomas explained that his daily work as a computer engineer can sometimes feel quite monotonous. This prompted him to create something that would entertain people.

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...
