The University of Washington’s Allen School is tackling six “grand challenges” in computer science — from AI and education to ...

Imagine a town with two widget merchants. Customers prefer cheaper widgets, so the merchants must compete to set the lowest price. Unhappy with their meager profits, they meet one night in a ...

For years, a French mathematician searched for a proof that a gigantic number is prime. His method is still used 150 years ...

The possibility that our entire universe merely exists inside a computer simulation is more than an idle science fiction ...

In a world where machines can code, true intelligence lies in designing the logic that drives them. The future belongs to those who think independently, critically and algorithmically, not ...

Iulia Georgescu highlights the forgotten pioneers of computational physics and calls for a wider appreciation of research ...

The year isn't over yet, but we've already seen record-breaking quantum computers, skyrocketing levels of investment, and ...

It's a plot device beloved by science fiction: our entire universe might be a simulation running on some advanced ...

The belief that we are living in a Matrix-like simulation has has grown traction in recent years, but boffins believe they ...

Two decades ago, the mathematician Moon Duchin spent her summers teaching geometry at Mathcamp, a program for mathematically talented teens. Campers contemplated notions such as how to prove whether a ...

A scientific study disproves the idea that the universe is a computer simulation, proving reality cannot be reproduced by algorithms.

However, “Quantum Echoes” doesn’t only work on Google’s “Willow” chip—according to the researchers, it can also be run on other quantum computers to verify results. The algorithm can also be used to ...
