If quantum computing is going to become an every-day reality, we need better superconducting thin films, the hardware that enables storage and processing of quantum information. Too often, these thin ...

Hewlett-Packard Co. and the University of California at Los Angeles are building logic switches and memory cells out of individual molecules of organic chemicals. In a competing project at Harvard ...

“It would outperform every computer on the face of the earth.” Williams says that molecular computers will get a lot closer to that limit than silicon-based processors ever could. “But I can’t claim ...

In the not-so-far future it may be possible to run entire computer networks inside of living cells thanks to a recent breakthrough in molecular computing from scientists in the US. According to ...

Scientists have shown how an optical chip can simulate the motion of atoms within molecules at the quantum level, which could lead to better ways of creating chemicals for use as pharmaceuticals.
