Astronomers use algorithms to analyze the numerous images coming from space, but how accurate are they?

A curated collection of foundational programming problems with full algorithmic explanations and reusable helper functions, solved using JavaScript.

Astronomy has a major data problem – simulating realistic images of the sky can help train algorithms News By John Peterson published July 8, 2025 ...

The researchers also proved their result was sharp: no history-independent algorithm can do better than log 1.5n. Many computer scientists guessed, therefore, that this new algorithm was the final ...

To make a truly realistic fake picture of a galaxy, you can model exactly how light particles travel through the atmosphere and telescope to reach its sensor.

It’s been difficult to find important questions that quantum computers can answer faster than classical machines, but a new algorithm appears to do it for some critical optimization tasks.

The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal.
