A financial “security” is nothing more than a claim on some stream of cash flows that investors expect to be delivered into their hands in the future. From our simple example, it’s already clear that ...

As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one maverick bioengineer is testing how much unprogrammed intelligence may already be lurking in our simplest algorithms to determine whether ...

This showcases various sorting algorithms implemented in the C. Sorting algorithms are fundamental tools in computer science, used to arrange data in a specific order. In this project, we explore ...

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 ...

A big problem with America's ruling class is its disconnect from, and even contempt for, ordinary Americans. Donald Trump aims to solve that — by moving the elites out of Washington.

One July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling discovery about the relationship between time and memory in computing.

Advanced algorithms drive how music is discovered and consumed. Streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music rely on data-driven recommendations to generate playlists from every ...

Abstract: A list of components can be arranged in a certain order using a sorting algorithm, which is a fundamental concept in computer science. The temporal complexity of the two fundamental and ...

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 ...
