At the heart of every resonator — be it a cello, a gravitational wave detector, or the antenna in your cell phone — there is a beautiful bit of mathematics that has been heretofore unacknowledged.

The one chip startup building accelerators for something other than AI boasts performance up 10x that of modern GPUs using a ...

The game of chess has long been central to computer science and AI-related research, most notably in IBM’s Deep Blue in the 1990s and, more recently, AlphaZero. But the game is about more than ...
