A new “Interview on Computer Science”. Serge Abiteboul and Christine Froidevaux interview Claude Berrou, computer engineer and electronics engineer, and a member of the French Academy of Sciences.

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 ...

Heaps and Bounds The story of this iconic path-finding algorithm began with a detour. In 1956, the 26-year-old Dutch computer scientist Edsger Dijkstra wanted to write a program that would show off ...

Quantum computers are designed to outperform standard computers by running quantum algorithms. Areas in which quantum algorithms can be applied include cryptography, search and optimisation ...

A teenage programmer explores the concept of writing algorithms by creating step-by-step instructions to teach her computer a dance routine. Suitable for teaching at KS3, KS4 and National 4 and 5.

Artificial intelligence learned how to generate text and art better than ever before, while computer scientists developed algorithms that solved long-standing problems.

A visual algorithm has been developed that its researchers believe can accurately rank historical art works according to their creativity, a study published in arxiv reveals. Computer scientists ...

One computer scientist’s “stunning” proof is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer science.

Computer Scientists Find a Key Research Algorithm's Limits The most widely used technique for optimizing values of a math function turns out to be a fundamentally difficult computational problem.

Scientists used a computer algorithm and a brain scanning technique called fMRI to "read" peoples' minds. (This is a stock image.) (Image credit: Aja Koska via Getty Images) ...
