Well, brief mentions in other videos about the Q-word, *Laughs* you know, the magic computers that are going to break all encryption and beat everyone at their own game and be the next big thing and be on all our smartphones. Should we put some reality on this? Where are we at with quantum computing?…

Remodelling machine learning: An AI that thinks like a scientist
Modern science generates a lot of data — amounts far beyond the ability of humans to process on their own. This is why scientists often rely on computational methods such as machine learning — a type of artificial intelligence to crunch big data. In fact, it’s pretty commonplace today, and is even used in applications…
Computer and Information Research Scientists Career Video
Developing the tools and technologies of tomorrow… requires hard work today. Computer and information research scientists invent new approaches to computing technology and improve the use of existing technology. They study complex computing problems, and are often at the forefront of solving them for business, science, medicine, and other fields. These research scientists build algorithms,…
People of Science with Brian Cox – Professor Joanna Haigh on Lewis Fry Richardson
Brian: Hello, I’m Professor Brian Cox. Welcome to People of Science. Jo, could you introduce yourself and your work. Joanna: I’m Jo Haigh. I’m Professor of Atmospheric Physics at Imperial College London and also co-director of the Gratham Institute on Climate Change. My work concerns the processes that contribute to why the atmosphere and climate…
Distributed Computing
Distributed computing, a relatively recent development to computation that actually changes the way in which we approach a lot of problems. What was once basically impossible is now actually attainable with relative ease. Iin today’s episodem we’ll take a look at some definitions and concepts behind distributed computing and then we’ll move on to some…
The Tallest, Smallest, and Oldest Science of 2019
♪♪♪ Sometimes science means looking for the extremes — the biggest, smallest, oldest, and furthest. 2019 was no different. Here are three of the science-est things we found this year. First up, in June, scientists published a letter in the journal Nature announcing they’d found microscopic fossils of what might be the world’s oldest fungus….
Never Make Me Use VISTA Again
– Dude! So this, my friends, is the laptop that started the channel. Well, I guess not this specific one, but this model. This is the Aspire 3680 from our good friends at Acer. So, one of the fun things about this laptop, and when I say fun, I mean not fun at all, is…
Computing With Art – Computerphile
We’re going to talk about Can we compute with art? can paintings compute and it’s it’s a broader theme in terms of What are the links between physics and chemistry and biology and computing and indeed art? So I worked with somebody called Linda Jackson who’s a local nottingham artist She’d started to play with…
Neuromorphic Computing Is a Big Deal for A.I., But What Is It?
We often talk about how traditional computing is reaching its limit–there’s a threshold we can’t move past without making some seriously big changes to the way we structure computers. One of those exciting ways is by making physical computers a little more like human brains. We introduced this concept in more detail here, but a…
High Performance Computing (HPC) – Computerphile
This this two-factor authentication; so basically to get in I need my card and then I need a PIN and this is a scrambler pad so basically every time that you look at that the numbers are in a different order. This is the High Performance Computing facility for the university of Nottingham. SEAN>>What do…
