Researchers built autonomous robots the size of salt grains—with onboard computers, sensors, and motors that think and swim ...

In a sense, it sounds like that’s another facet of computational thinking that’s more relevant in the age of AI—the abstractions of statistics and probability in addition to algorithms and data ...

I studied computer science at University College Dublin, where the four-year course covered a broad range of topics. We ...

Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are ...

In 1999, a decade after inventing the world wide web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, a British computer scientist, imagined an intelligent version of his creation. In that vision, much of daily life—finding ...

Software built into the cameras on iPhones and Android phones makes quick work of decoding QR codes. How do you do that on a laptop or desktop computer? I have a friend who calls me occasionally to ...

Japanese company Science is commercially producing its Mirai Ningen Sentakuki – Human Washing Machine of the Future – after an overwhelming response at the Osaka-Kansai Expo this year. Only 50 models ...

At M.I.T., a new program called “artificial intelligence and decision-making” is now the second-most-popular undergraduate major. By Natasha Singer Natasha Singer covers computer science and A.I.

Scientists have built a 98-qubit machine that they say performs better than any other quantum computer in the world. They've used it to gain new insights into superconducting physics. When you ...

Researchers at the quantum computing firm Quantinuum used a new Helios-1 quantum computer to simulate a mathematical model that has long been used to study superconductivity. These simulations are not ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

WTF?! Public restrooms in parts of China are testing new dispensers that release toilet paper only after users scan a QR code and watch an online advertisement, a system that has drawn widespread ...
