The rapid proliferation of algorithmic systems has sparked widespread concerns about their potential to perpetuate and ...

Historically, cosmological models rely on "free parameters"—arbitrary, human-tuned variables inserted into the math to force the formulas to match reality. Kulkarni's updated simulation completely ...

The commonly used RSA encryption algorithm can now be cracked by a quantum computer with only 100,000 qubits, but the technical challenges to building such a machine remain numerous ...

Inspired by the Japanese art of kirigami, an MIT team has designed a technique that could transform flat panels into medical devices, habitats, and other objects without the use of tools.

In his new book, “A World Appears,” Michael Pollan argues that artificial intelligence can do many things—it just can’t be a ...

Imagine trying to design a key for a lock that is constantly changing its shape. That is the exact challenge we face in ...

AI’s march toward the singularity is hitting a hard limit: Moore’s Law is slowing, energy is scarce, and star-powered dreams ...

Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform ...

In a small lab at the University of California, Santa Cruz, clusters of mouse brain cells have taken on a task normally reserved for computer algorithms: ...

Before cooking videos and viral recipes, home meals were built around simplicity and routine. This video looks at classic recipes people made regularly without trends or cameras involved. Ingredients ...

Have you ever started watching something on Netflix, only to realise it’s not very good, or simply not to your taste? Perhaps it felt like you had chosen to watch it off your own back, but more likely ...

Researchers from Chiba University have developed a lightweight peer-selection algorithm that significantly reduces data propagation delays without increasing resource usage on internet of things (IoT) ...
