A computer scientist has achieved a breakthrough in a nearly 25-year-old problem involving how computers calculate distances across enormous networks. The new algorithm delivers more reliable ...

People generally evaluate minds along two separate dimensions: agency, meaning the ability to think, plan, and act ...

A study describes a new computer algorithm which can be applied to Earth System Models to drastically reduce the time needed to prepare these in order to make accurate predictions of future climate ...

Researchers in Slovakia benchmarked five lossless compression algorithms directly on an STM32 microcontroller, revealing ...

Researchers said it was the first time a quantum computer “posed a real and substantial threat” to encryption, but multiple limitations still hamper a full-scale hack. Chinese researchers using a ...

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh developed an algorithm to simulate photonic quantum computers on conventional ...

The Julia Lab, a research group within MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), and Neurophos, a company building photonic AI processors, today announced a collaboration ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Imagine a town with two widget merchants. Customers prefer cheaper widgets, so the merchants must compete to set the lowest price.

Earth System Models—complex computer models that describe Earth processes and how they interact—are critical for predicting future climate change. By simulating the response of our land, oceans and ...
