Elon Musk has set out an expansive long-term vision for Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot, framing it as more than a factory or ...

Elon Musk says Optimus humanoid robot could build civilizations on distant planets amid SpaceX's plans to launch 1TW of AI ...

John von Neumann was one of the great mathematicians of the 20th century, publishing more than 150 papers and making major strides in a host of different fields, including the work that led to the ...

Goldstine explained the ENIAC project, a room-sized machine of vacuum tubes designed for wartime calculations. Von Neumann instantly realized that computers could change far more than military ...

The computer, at its core, is an input-output device: it receives instructions, executes programmes, performs calculations automatically and produces results. Unearthed in 2012 from a tomb dated to ...

Valve made waves last month upon the announcement of a slew of new Steam hardware. The company launched a sequel to the Steam Controller and course-corrected the metaverse with the Steam Frame. But ...
