When it comes to making powerful computer chips, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD -3.66%) is best-in-class. The company is an incredibly versatile producer, serving wide-ranging purposes that include gaming, the data center, and even virtual reality applications.
Chips, which are commercially known as semiconductors, have become one of the most important manufacturing components as consumer devices and commercial infrastructure demand
The exhibition “Art Meets History: Technologies of the Spirit” challenges the idea of a singular New Mexico story.
Open at 516 ARTS, the exhibition marks a second iteration of the show that opened with “Many Worlds Are Born,” showcasing that constellation of community and
Carver Mead isn’t impressed by complicated things. As far as he’s concerned, the bigger challenge is to take a complex system and find a way to simplify it without overlooking any of its essential features.
In an era when integrated circuits for computers were painstakingly painted by hand by skilled lithographers, the microelectronics pioneer at Caltech designed a blueprint that

Cris Lugo understands the education gap caused by a lack of technology. Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in the Turks & Caicos Islands, there were no computers in his home.
Now he hopes to combine his experience as the first international student ever to be chosen president of the Student Government Association (SGA) ― and
DEMING – Are you intimidated by today’s technology? Do computers, smartphones, and laptops put you in a cold sweat?
The Teeniors program is coming to Deming and can quell those fears and bring you up to speed when it comes to today’s computer technology. The program is geared toward finding tech-savvy teens to train toward empowering senior citizens and other
When Meaghan Martin first started teaching in 2007, her classroom had just a few desktop computers. But she still found that tech could be an effective way to help her English language learners. For instance, it was easier for kids who didn’t know the word “volcano” to grasp the concept by watching a video of an eruption on screen.
These
Back when computers were first invented, they could only execute a single program that had full access to all the hardware on the computer. As technology advanced and computers became more powerful, researchers realized that it probably makes more sense to have several programs access system resources at the same time.
But this came at
In labs across the world, scientists are developing the power of quantum mechanics, a field of physics that behaves unlike anything we experience in our everyday lives. In 2019, Google announced that its quantum computer had achieved “quantum supremacy,” which could allow new kinds of computers to perform calculations at what were once unimaginable speeds. Other companies and research labs
