Katherine Bouman had a secret: An algorithm she’d developed had stitched together a picture of a black hole. She told nobody except her colleagues. Until today. That’s when Event Horizon ...

Researchers have devised an "absurdly fast" algorithm to solve the problem of finding the fastest flow through a network.

Computer Science is a field that touches almost every part of our daily lives, yet it can seem overwhelming for newcomers. In this 17-minute crash course, we break down the essentials of Computer ...

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs ...

Origami, or the art of paper folding, finds its roots in Japanese tradition, where it is widely practiced even today. Drawing ...

The trained algorithm could distinguish cases where transformations were time-reversal symmetric, something that appears to be very difficult or impossible with the classical system.

Computer scientists are now seriously studying these "algorithms in nature" to generate new solutions to basic engineering problems. The past few decades have seen tremendous advances in our ...
