By building a digital model of the Antikythera Mechanism, scientists may have finally exposed a key function of the ancient device, revealing a design that required some seriously advanced thinking.

Scientists are one step closer to unlocking the secrets of the 2,000-year-old Antikythera Mechanism, considered the world’s first computer, thanks to a new computer-generated reconstruction of ...

For instance, back in 2005, HP built a new 3D surface imaging device, the PTM Dome, which surrounds the object to be examined—a critical factor, given the fragility of the Antikythera mechanism.

Scientists may have finally made a complete digital model for the Cosmos panel of a 2,000-year-old mechanical device called the Antikythera mechanism that's believed to be the world's first computer.

Since its discovery off the Greek island of Antikythera in 2001, the Antikythera mechanism was long thought to be a celestial measuring device. It was sometimes called the oldest computer in the ...

The 2,000-year-old, hand-powered device displayed the motion of the universe, thus predicting the movement of five planets, the different phases of the moon, as well as the lunar and solar ...

Researchers have developed this theoretical model to explain the workings of the Antikythera mechanism, the 2,000-old ancient Greek device that is often referred to as the "first computer ...

The Antikythera mechanism is a 2,000-year-old ... calendar, or calculating device. But they had no idea what it was for. For decades, they debated: Was the Antikythera a toy model of the planets?

The Antikythera mechanism is an ancient shoebox-sized device that is sometimes called the world's oldest computer for its ability to perform astronomical calculations. Discovered by sponge divers ...

The device would come to be known as the Antikythera mechanism, the oldest known complex scientific instrument. Discovered in 1900 on the wreck of an ancient Roman merchant vessel near the island of ...
