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 ...

In the late 1930s, Claude Shannon showed that by using switches that close for "true" and open for "false," it was possible to carry out logical operations by assigning the number 1 to "true" and 0 ...

How It Works This diagram shows one form of binary compatibility between two computer architectures. The one on the left uses a single Intel processor, while the one on the right uses dual processors ...

Computers use coding to get instructions and do the things they do. Have you ever seen the inside of a computer? Wires carry information through the machine in the form of electricity. The two options ...

Our mission is to deliver unbiased, fact-based reporting that holds power to account and exposes the truth. Whether $5 or $50, every contribution counts. Scientists have made a quantum computer that ...
