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.

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

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.

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 ...

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

New insights on the Antikythera Mechanism Poor spacing between gear teeth could cause blockages, rendering the mechanism unfit for scientific use, simulations indicate.

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 name, Antikythera Mechanism, was proof of the scientists’ uncertainty and confusion. Antikythera designated the place of discovery and mechanism that it was some kind of a machine.

When the Antikythera Mechanism was first discovered, it wasn’t viewed as the wonder that we know it today. Originally the divers who found the device and the first scientists to look at it wr… ...

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.
