New Antikythera mechanism analysis challenges century-old assumption Physicists drew on statistical techniques used to analyze gravitational waves.

Researchers previously thought the calendar ring on the Antikythera mechanism tracked the ancient Egyptian calendar, but new research suggests it tracked the Greek lunar calendar instead.

Scientists used an analysis technique from gravitational wave astronomy to suggest the Antikythera mechanism had a lunar calendar.

The Antikythera mechanism is an ancient Greek analog device dating back to between 100 and 200 BC that is considered the world's first known computer.

Researchers have created a computational model of the Antikythera mechanism to test how it worked. It was prone to jamming and break down.

How Well Did the Mysterious Antikythera Mechanism Actually Work? Historians think the 2,000-year-old device was used to predict the positions of celestial bodies. A new digital simulation suggests ...

Researchers at UCL have solved a major piece of the puzzle that makes up the ancient Greek astronomical calculator known as the Antikythera Mechanism, a hand-powered mechanical device that was ...

Researchers working to analyze the Antikythera Mechanism believe they may finally have a model that fully describes its functions and capabilities.
