Google has renamed NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook, while keeping it as a standalone AI-powered research tool. The company said ...

Helene Martin is a “geek who gives back,” and Ian Whalley shapes some of Google’s most-used applications through computational thinking. Both will be featured speakers at the third annual Explorations ...

Google's Gemini 2.5 Computer Use model lets your computer work by itself, just like a person. It can click buttons, fill forms, and log in for you. The model operates by taking a screenshot, deciding ...

Google’s most advanced computer isn’t at the company’s headquarters in Mountain View, California, nor anywhere in the febrile sprawl of Silicon Valley. It’s a few hours’ drive south in Santa Barbara, ...

After studying most of its servers for more than two years, Google finds memory failures are much more common than expected, and debunks some other myths, too. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from ...

Earlier this month, a new story leaked out: Google, one of the leading companies invested in the endeavor of quantum computing, claims to have just achieved Quantum Supremacy. While our classical ...

Quantum supremacy is here, researchers from Google claim. For the first time, a quantum computer has solved a problem that can’t be performed by a standard computer — at least not within a reasonable ...

Google has reportedly developed a quantum computer that can instantly make calculations that would take the world's most advanced supercomputers 47 years or nearly half a century to process. The ...

To shrink error rates in quantum computers, sometimes more is better. More qubits, that is. The quantum bits, or qubits, that make up a quantum computer are prone to ...

Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and wrote about processors, digital photography, AI, quantum computing, computer science, materials science, supercomputers, drones, browsers, 3D ...

Today Google announced that it achieved “quantum supremacy.” Its chief quantum computing rival, IBM, said it hasn’t. The disagreement hinges on what the term really means. Yet in an eleventh-hour ...
