It's been a long time since Alice Charton got a good look at a human face. There are plenty of people moving through her world, of course—her husband, her friends, her doctors, her neighbors—but ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

Cortical Labs, a startup based in Australia, has developed what it describes as a "code-deployable biological computer." Called CL1, the technology is a type of synthetic biological intelligence ...

Data centers squander vast amounts of electricity, most of it as heat. The physical properties of diamond offer a potential solution, researchers say. Data centers squander vast amounts of electricity ...

A clump of human brain cells can play the classic computer game Doom. While its performance is not up to par with humans, experts say it brings biological computers a step closer to useful real-world ...

A stunning new imaging breakthrough lets scientists see — and fix — the atomic flaws hiding inside tomorrow’s computer chips.

Quantum computers use qubits, which are based on quantum physics, allowing them to solve complex problems far faster than ...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a powerful imaging technique that reveals atomic scale defects inside computer chips for the first time. Using an advanced electron microscopy method, ...
