New models developed by the search giant upgrade the resolution of photos.
Post-Quantum Cryptography: Protecting Today from Tomorrow
Crafting more difficult algorithms to protect secrets so they are resilient to future quantum computers is creating, in effect, post-quantum cryptography.
Algorithms can have a devastating impact on people's lives, especially if they already are struggling economically.
The introduction of the nanosheet transistor is just one step in the continuing attempt to stick to the spirit of Moore's Law.
Two-dimensional materials — graphene and its cousins — could enable better integrated circuits.

Photonic Processors Light the Way
Highly efficient light-based processors can overcome the bottlenecks of today's electronics.
The architect of the Sagrada Familia appears to have done parametric modeling in his head; software is helping to complete the structure a century later.
Non-Fungible Tokens and the Future of Art
A new blockchain-based technology is changing how the art world works, and changing how we think about asset ownership in the process.
Mathematician Martin Jackson is known for his work on Hilbert's Tenth Problem, among other things.
U.S. AI Policy Still Effectively A Closed Box
Expect a tapestry of federal, state and local policies to take shape.
Quantum Computing with Exponentially Fewer Errors
A procedure tested on Google's Sycamore quantum processor demonstrates the next practical level of error correction.
Programmable Trap Can Kill Viruses
Computational genetic engineering has enabled a method of "trapping" and killing viruses.
Cyber Risk in Digital Transformation
Cybersecurity missteps during corporate Digital Transformation efforts can lead to digital breaches.
Shape the Future of Computing
ACM encourages its members to take a direct hand in shaping the future of the association. There are more ways than ever to get involved.
Get InvolvedCommunications of the ACM (CACM) is now a fully Open Access publication.
By opening CACM to the world, we hope to increase engagement among the broader computer science community and encourage non-members to discover the rich resources ACM has to offer.
