Ralph Merkle, Robert Freitas and others have a theoretical design for a molecular mechanical computer that would be 100 billion times more energy efficient than the most energy efficient conventional ...

There was a time when virtually all keyboards relied on hefty mechanical switches rather than the flimsy rubber domes that lurk beneath most modern alternatives. Massive, spring-driven monstrosities ...

The NuPhy Halo96 V2 features a 96% layout that includes all the essential keys while maintaining a compact footprint. Its gasket-mounted structure and premium switches provide a cushioned, quieter ...

Up until now computer designs that have been theoretically known have been less energy efficient than the human brain. We could project supercomputers that could reach an exaFLOP and perhaps a ...

The first computers were built using electro-mechanical components, unlike today’s modern electronic systems. Alan Turing’s cryptanalysis multiplier and Konrad Zuse’s Z2 were invented and built in the ...

Managing Editor Josh Goldman is a laptop expert and has been writing about and reviewing them since built-in Wi-Fi was an optional feature. He also covers almost anything connected to a PC, including ...

Mechanical keyboards have never been cheaper or better, and it's an upgrade you'll benefit from greatly. But... which board should you get? And what's all this about switches? Share on Facebook (opens ...
