The formulation of the binary number system essentially laid the groundwork for digital circuitry, computers, and the field of computer science, as we know it in today’s technologically-advanced ...

This Number System Beats Binary, But Most Computers Can’t Use It Why do computers only work with the numbers 0 and 1? There are machines that process three digits with more efficiency than you ...

Memo to the developers of superfast quantum computers: give up on the familiar 1s-and-0s binary system used in conventional computers. By switching to a novel five-state system, you will ...

The two ideas together kept the binary system from falling into obscurity for long enough for mathematicians and engineers to find a different use for it — as the basis for the logic gates in modern ...

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 ...

Scientists have made a quantum computer that breaks free from the binary system.

Base-2 system helped to simplify calculations centuries before Europeans rediscovered it.
