We may not yet have definitive evidence that we live in a simulation. But the deeper we look, the more our universe seems to behave like a computational process. Melvin M. Vopson, Associate Professor ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to ...

Imagine you are using the European transportation network and looking for the fastest and cheapest route to move as many goods as possible from Copenhagen to Milan. Kyng's algorithm can be applied ...

In brief Computer scientists at ETH Zurich have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with ...

Outsourcing (some) science Outsourcing the work of scientists to machines is not a new idea. As far back as the 1970s, Carnegie Mellon University professor Patrick Langley developed a program he ...
