This idea was once thought to lie beyond the reach of scientific inquiry,” said physicist Mir Faizal of the University of British Columbia.

The long-debated idea that we might all be living in a computer simulation—popularized by science fiction films like The Matrix—has taken a major hit.

The hum of a ceiling fan. The sudden sigh of darkness. Then, the faint blue blink of a prepaid meter. Every Lagos night begins and ends with this small ...

Soft elastic material uses energy-free floppy modes to perform and reprogram calculations, enabling smarter robots and ...

Up until now, the simulation hypothesis, which has occasionally received backing from the likes of Elon Musk and Neil ...

Analog computers are systems that perform computations by manipulating physical quantities such as electrical current, that ...

Computers built with analogue circuits promise huge speed and efficiency gains over ordinary computers, but normally at the ...

Abstract: This paper aims to develop a chattering-reduction sliding mode control (SMC) approach for affine systems with input matrix uncertainty. Input matrix uncertainty poses adverse effects on ...

In order to increase the dependability of quantum calculations, study explores the use of Shor’s algorithm in a noisy quantum ...

Abstract: Matrix operation is easy to be paralleled by hardware, and the memristor network can realize a parallel matrix computing model with in-memory computing. This article proposes a ...

According to the researchers, the approach uses what they call a “fingerprint matrix,” which is a mathematical description of the way each object uniquely scatters waves such as light or ultrasound.
