The first electronic computer was built during the 1940s by John Vincent Atanasoff, a professor of physics and mathematics at Iowa State University, and one of his students, Clifford E. Berry. But the ...

This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the most promising applications of these machines here and see an illustrated field guide to qubits here. Inside a ...

In a world where technology is increasingly centralized, Bless is transforming everyday devices—laptops, smartphones, and tablets—into a collective powerhouse for the internet. While the computational ...

We named it the personal computer. Somewhere along the way, “personal” came to mean “logged into five accounts and re-setting the same preferences on every screen.” That gap, between devices we own ...
