We observe that the computational inefficiency of branched recursive functions was not appropriately covered in almost all textbooks for computer science courses in the first three years of the ...

Will algorithms designed for interconnected computers hold up if some of the machines are not here on Earth but flying about ...

Opinion: Lidiya Mishchenko and Pooya Shoghi explain how to bridge a gap preventing successful patent claims to protect new ...

For Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio, you can find one practical answer in search algorithms. It's fairly common to have to find the maximum or minimum of a mathematical function f (x) between ...

Computer algorithms have designed highly efficient synthetic enzymes from scratch, with minimal need for tedious hands-on experiments to perfect them. The resulting enzymes catalyse a chemical ...

There’s a lot that AI can’t do, but hype and misinformation are driving prospective students away from Computer Science.

For the first time, an international team of scientists has experimentally simulated spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) at zero temperature using a superconducting quantum processor. This achievement ...

Scientists say they have made a breakthrough after developing a quantum computing technique to run machine learning ...

But how do you know that a random number is truly random? Classical computer algorithms can only create pseudorandom numbers, and someone with enough knowledge of the algorithm or the system could ...

In brief Taking better photos with less light: that is the promise of a new perovskite image sensor developed by researchers at ETH Zurich and Empa. The new sensor is more light-sensitive, reproduces ...

Algorithms design ‘remarkable’ enzymes Researchers have used computer algorithms to design highly efficient synthetic enzymes from scratch, reducing the number of tedious hands-on experiments ...
