Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

Astronomers use brokers to identify which signals to pursue in an endless stream of alerts. Looking up at the stars at night, it may not be obvious that the universe is constantly changing. But it is: ...

A simple Java program that implements common sorting algorithms for sorting integer data in both ascending and descending order, while also tracking the number of swaps and comparisons for each ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Computer scientists often deal with abstract problems that are hard to comprehend, but an exciting new algorithm matters to anyone who ...

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. Computer scientists often ...

The year 2024 is the time when most manual things are being automated with the assistance of Machine Learning algorithms. You’d be surprised at the growing number of ML algorithms that help play chess ...

The looming challenges of quantum computing have prompted the Java Platform to implement two advanced cryptographic solutions in its upcoming release, Java 24, slated for March 2025. Quantum computers ...

Adam Satariano and Roser Toll Pifarre interviewed more than 50 victims, families, police, government officials and other experts about Spain’s gender violence program. In a small apartment outside ...
