Scientists from the Flatiron Institute and New York University developed a method by which a classical computer can outperform a quantum system on specific benchmarks.

Memo to the developers of superfast quantum computers: give up on the familiar 1s-and-0s binary system used in conventional computers. By switching to a novel five-state system, you will ...

This Number System Beats Binary, But Most Computers Can’t Use It Why do computers only work with the numbers 0 and 1? There are machines that process three digits with more efficiency than you ...

Can you speak binary? On ‘An Eye for an I’ this week, we introduce you to the language that almost every electronic device uses to operate.

Recent advances in molecular spectroscopy and theoretical modelling have significantly enhanced our understanding of the intermolecular interactions in binary solutions. Such studies employ a ...

Matched data also arise naturally in twin studies, as a cohort of exposure-discordant twins can be viewed as being matched on a large number of potential confounders. The analysis of twin studies will ...

Science Polynesians may have beat computers to using binary A mixed binary/decimal system may have made some calculations easier. John Timmer – Dec 19, 2013 9:31 AM | 80 Credit: flickr user ...

A new simulation suggests that planets orbiting a pair of stars may be plentiful, and many of those worlds could be suitable for life.

Scientists have made a quantum computer that breaks free from the binary system.
