A canonical problem in computer science is to find the shortest route to every point in a network. A new approach beats the ...

A teenage programmer tests a set of instructions she has written to get her computer to mop the floor. Suitable for teaching at KS3, KS4 and National 4 and 5.

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs for ...

The 30th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms awarded its 2021 Test-of-Time Award to Sorin Istrail, professor of computational and mathematical sciences and professor of computer science, and his ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. One July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling ...

Computer science involves much more than writing code. It blends technical knowledge —like programming, algorithms and data systems — with soft skills, such as communication and problem-solving.

Childs has been recognised for his contributions to quantum simulation and Hamiltonian dynamics. His work has focused on developing fast quantum algorithms for simulating Hamiltonian dynamics, which ...

The algorithms are trained largely on white faces and therefore may be less accurate at distinguishing between faces of people of color. The ethical issues faced by computer science professionals ...
