A recent article reports that an Oracle patent on a fast sorting method has expired, allowing open source databases to use it freely. Mark Callaghan, the inventor behind the sorting algorithm, shows ...

Abstract: To address the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW), this paper presents a novel Dual Adaptive Genetic Algorithm (DAGA). While numerous metaheuristic algorithms have been ...

“Imagine a computation that produces a new bit of information in every step, based on the bits that it has computed so far. Over t steps of time, it may generate up to t new bits of information in ...

It’s July 2025. After a week of building tensions between Russia and the United States, following what seems to be a failed meeting between Trump and Putin in Anchorage, Donald Trump posts an oddly ...

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 ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. 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 ...

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 ...

Quantum researchers have created a new algorithm that can reduce noise in qubits while they are working, and it does this in real time. The method works for many different types of qubits, even when ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. We like to think that we're pretty good at math, especially after years of schooling. But every once in a while, a simple ...

In our latest episode of Lexicon, we sat down with Adetunji (Joseph) Ayoade, an award-winning Information Technology expert with deep expertise in AI, cloud computing, and data analytics. Ayoade’s ...

Quantum computing isn’t just some sci-fi concept anymore. It’s not theoretical. It’s not niche. It’s here—and it’s poised to gut the foundations of modern software development in ways few engineers ...
