Like many nerds, I have an interest in cryptography rooted in the wartime exploits of codebreaker and Ur-computer scientist Alan Turing. So I’ve followed with interest IEEE Spectrum’s reporting on the ...

The ability to make a very miniature on/off switch changed the world. These tiny switches, known as transistors, make up the basis of all modern computing—they drive your cell phones, your bank ...

On Oct. 3, 1950, three scientists at Bell Labs in New Jersey received a U.S. patent for what would become one of the most important inventions of the 20th century — the transistor. John Bardeen, ...

A Stravinsky ballet, a Brian De Palma-esque slow-motion high angle, Benicio Del Toro smoking in the bathtub: Anderson takes IndieWire inside one of his most carefully choreographed images. From the ...

Shrinking silicon transistors have reached their physical limits, but a team from the University of Tokyo is rewriting the rules. They've created a cutting-edge transistor using gallium-doped indium ...

When the history of the decline of American moviegoing is written, one savior will deserve mention: Wes Anderson. During a period of churning audiences and a lemminglike rush toward streaming, the ...

It's become customary to describe a new Wes Anderson movie as "more of the same," but it says something about the sheer richness of his visual imagination that he can make two movies set in roughly ...

Wes Anderson’s new film, “The Phoenician Scheme,” is a funny-ha-ha comedy, but there’s nothing funny about its story, which involves a wealthy industrialist’s attempts to realize a grandiose ...

Wes Anderson returns with another intricately designed film, and an inquiry into the meaning of goodness. By Alissa Wilkinson When you purchase a ticket for an independently reviewed film through our ...

Daniel O'Brien does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond ...

The growing energy use of AI has gotten a lot of people working on ways to make it less power hungry. One option is to develop processors that are a better match to the sort of computational needs of ...

For decades, the semiconductor industry has been laser-focused on shrinking silicon transistors, but Peking University researchers believe the future might lie in changing materials entirely. In a ...
