With the Human Calculator Kid adding 100 4-digit numbers in just over 30 seconds and Google’s new quantum computer chip processing otherwise impossible problems at speeds possibly indicative of a ...

Caltech researchers have quantified the speed of human thought: a rate of 10 bits per second. However, our bodies' sensory systems gather data about our environments at a rate of a trillion bits per ...

Human clustering can be rather precarious. Small teams work well because they balance diversity of thought with coherence of focus. Yet, beyond a certain size, the process begins to break apart. We ...

The human brain, often hailed as nature’s most powerful computer, is surprisingly slow when it comes to handling information. While our senses gather a mountain of data every second, our actual ...

Researchers calculated that the human brain processes thought at a speed of ten bits per second. Andriy Onufriyenko via Getty Images The human brain is a biological marvel, stuffed with some 86 ...

What just happened? Scientists have discovered that our brains process thoughts much more slowly than previously believed. This surprising finding has its roots in our evolutionary history and sheds ...

Our era is defined by a constant flow of information. Data from smartphones, wearables and environmental sensors, connected to sharing and analysis platforms, accompany us daily, creating a digital ...
