In the teaching of computer science, metaphors and analogies are especially fitting: the essence of algorithms is abstract discrete structures, and to help learners quickly grasp the logic within, we ...

A novel protocol for quantum computers could reproduce the complex dynamics of quantum materials A quantum-computational algorithm that could be used to efficiently and accurately calculate ...

Using machine learning, MIT CSAIL, and Project CETI, researchers revealed complex, language-like structures in sperm whale communication with context-sensitive and combinatorial elements. Credit: ...

An algorithm could be used to map out different types of road routes An algorithm is a set of instructions to solve a problem or complete a task. Algorithms are vital for programming, as they provide ...

Computers don’t simply "understand" code in the way humans do. They rely on a highly sophisticated series of steps to interpret, compile, and execute the instructions provided by code. In this video, ...

Encryption software disguises the contents of files so they can only be understood by authorised users. The software uses a complex algorithm to scramble the content so that it appears to be gibberish ...

Google's artificial intelligence (AI) research lab DeepMind has unveiled an advanced agent, AlphaEvolve, which can target fundamental and complex mathematics and computing problems. It has the ...
