Biology-inspired, silicon-based computing may boost AI efficiency; AMP2 instead uses AI to accelerate anaerobic biology.

The familiar fight between “mind as software” and “mind as biology” may be a false choice. This work proposes biological computationalism: the idea that brains compute, but not in the abstract, symbol ...

A new theoretical framework argues that the long-standing split between computational functionalism and biological naturalism misses how real brains actually compute.

Shortly after Courtney Smith joined Bates in the fall of 2024 as an associate professor of theater, he floated an idea for a production that was both over-the-top ambitious and absolute catnip to his ...

Kvantify – Danish pioneers in quantum computing software – today announced the launch of its flagship product: Qrunch. Qrunch is an accessible quantum computing solution to actively drive innovation ...

Modern artificial intelligence systems, from robotic surgery to high-frequency trading, rely on processing streams of raw data in real time. Extracting important features quickly is critical, but ...

Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and collaborators at Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Columbia University report they have achieved a milestone in biological computing: ...

Cracking quantum computing isn’t a matter of upgrading existing computers. It’s an entirely separate approach to computing that relies on the principles of quantum physics. “A fighter jet is not a ...

Mushrooms are the coolest. Not quite flora, not quite fauna, they are a secret third thing—isn't that neat? Many types of fungi have also been observed to form symbiotic relationships with the root ...

The curious minds at ColdFusion examine whether nano-biological computing could replace quantum technology. This exploration shows the potential for radically new computing methods that could redefine ...

CAMBRIDGE, U.K. – A small Microsoft Research team had lofty goals when it set out four years ago to create an analog optical computer that would use light as a medium for solving complex problems.
