A.I. tools from Microsoft and other companies are helping write code, placing software engineers at the forefront of the technology’s potential to disrupt the work force.

Software-defined storage evolution Over the past 10 years, we’ve seen some discrete developments in software-defined storage, which can be categorised over a number of generational changes.

If you have ever owned a computer, especially over previous decades, you know that the type of storage used has changed many times. Thankfully, we’re long removed from the days of hard drives ...

Researchers will reconstruct the process of evolution, determine relationships between species and build phylogenetic trees with greater accuracy thanks to new method for identifying extremely ...
