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 ...

Scientists have made a quantum computer that breaks free from the binary system. Computers as we know them today rely on binary information: they operate in ones and zeroes, storing more complex ...

You can convert letters into binary by using two colors of beads to represent the 'ons' and 'offs.' Use the key below to create your name in binary code and even turn it into a bracelet you can wear.
