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

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.

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

The Famous Antikythera Mechanism Was a Mechanical Disaster, New Research Suggests Researchers simulated the device's ancient gear system to find out whether the contraption actually worked.

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.

Divers recently conducted an expedition to the Antikythera shipwreck, which sunk over 2,000 years ago. The ancient trade ship is in the Aegean Sea.

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 ...

The Roman-era Antikythera shipwreck was originally discovered in the Aegean Sea by sponge divers over a century ago.
