The Babylonians used separate combinations of two symbols to represent every single number from 1 to 59. That sounds pretty confusing, doesn’t it? Our decimal system seems simple by comparison, with ...

Do you know how to read binary codes? Pretty impressive if you do, since they’re a computer’s language. Binary coding is a system of counting that boils down to two digits—one (1) and zero (0) that ...

Scientists have made a quantum computer that breaks free from the binary system. Computers as we know them today rely on binary information: they operate in ones and zeroes, storing more complex ...

The decimal system of counting is part of our language, math, and the measurement units used by all right-thinking nations. It's so deeply engrained in how we operate that it's often difficult to ...

Lyric's tiny chip is full of possibilities. Traditional computer processing is based on 1 and 0, yes and no, but Lyric Semiconductor wants us to consider the power of 'maybe'. The Cambrdige, ...

The awesome Digirule 2U is a small 8-bit programmable binary computer created by developer Bradley Slattery. Launched via Kickstarter this month, the project is coming to the end of its campaign with ...

Just when it seems like the world of finance could not get any more complicated, some industry insiders believe the era of the quantum computer is imminent. In a recently published paper, Ovidiu ...

The phenomenal success of our integrated circuits managed to obscure an awkward fact: they're not always the best way to solve problems. The features of modern computers—binary operations, separated ...
