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

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 ...

The Antikythera Mechanism Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the 2,000-year-old Greek astronomical computer, one of the most important discoveries in marine archaeology.

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

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.

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.

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.

Contrary to what Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the latest installment in the epic franchise, suggests, the Antikythera mechanism won’t transport you back in time—not literally, at least.

At 2,000 years old, the Antikythera mechanism is a hand-powered orrery — a mechanical model of the Solar System — and is the earliest known example of an analogue computer.
