Mexican scientists and teachers from the University of Sonora in northwestern Mexico have successfully recreated the Antikythera mechanism, the oldest mechanical computer in humanity. The replica ...

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.

In the past, with only analog technology, time and place required mechanical gearing. Below is a recreation of the Antikythera mechanism. The original Antikythera Mechanism was discovered in a ...

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

A hand-powered clock from 2,000 years ago revealed a big secret with new astronomy research. The Antikythera mechanism's calendar ring likely followed the lunar year.

The Antikythera mechanism was discovered over 100 years ago. Researchers think they solved the ancient computer's mystery with statistical techniques.

Here's what researchers know about the ancient Antikythera mechanism, a celestial tracking device discovered in a shipwreck off a Greek island.

By Gary Todd The Antikythera Mechanism is a bronze gear mechanism from ancient Greece that was discovered in a sunken ship near the Mediterranean island of Antikythera in 1901. New research ...

A quick dive for sea sponges resulted in the discovery of a mysterious, surprisingly complex machine often referred to as the world's first analog computer.

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.

Regardless, the Antikythera mechanism proves that the ancient Greeks used complex arrangements of precisely cut wheels to represent the latest in scientific understanding.
