His solution to the problem can be of use in epidemiology and computer science, and potentially in other fields as well. A common feature for these fields is the presence of systems where the ...

From labor shortages and healthcare gaps to misinformation and data security risks, there are areas where technology could ...

Good news! A computer has solved the longstanding Erdős discrepancy problem! Trouble is, we have no idea what it’s talking about — because the solution, which is as long as all of Wikipedia ...

While it's always possible that new algorithms or methods could lead to a faster solution for any particular problem on a classical computer, quantum computers maintain some fundamental advantages.

In fact, this problem contains enough structure that computer scientists have developed a fast procedure (or algorithm) for it that bypasses the need for an exhaustive search.

It scans through your computer to identify the problem, and it may suggest a solution. If you're staring at a blue screen, you may be thinking, "There's a problem with my computer." ...

Because most of us don’t really understand what causes computer reliability problems we often assume the worst and accept the misguided belief that we must toss the baby out with the bath water and ...

One small amoeba found a solution to the traveling salesman problem faster than our best algorithms. What does it know that we don't?
