Something strange happened at University of California campuses this fall. For the first time since the dot-com crash, computer science enrollment dropped. System-wide, it fell 6% last year after ...

The commonly used RSA encryption algorithm can now be cracked by a quantum computer with only 100,000 qubits, but the technical challenges to building such a machine remain numerous ...

No one has had a Synchron brain-computer interface longer than Rodney Gorham. He’s still finding new ways to use it.

Using a tool to solve a protein's structure, for most researchers in the world of structural biology and computational chemistry, is not unlike using the Rosetta Stone to unlock the secrets of ancient ...

A method for making quantum computers less error-prone could let them run complex programs such as simulations of materials more efficiently, thus making them more useful ...

AI is getting scary good at finding hidden software bugs - even in decades-old code ...

Malware is evolving to evade sandboxes by pretending to be a real human behind the keyboard. The Picus Red Report 2026 shows 80% of top attacker techniques now focus on evasion and persistence, ...

Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes. So many that, when prompted with sequences from a cluster of related genes ...
