The historical pursuit of creating intelligent machines has culminated in the modern era of artificial intelligence. However, the efficacy of AI applications is contingent upon a nuanced understanding ...

Software simulates 370,000 steps in under 100 hours, potentially cutting demand for time on supercomputers by orders of ...

A major advance reveals deep connections between the classes of problems that computers can — and can’t — possibly do. At first glance, the big news coming out of this summer’s conference on the ...

In computational complexity theory, P and NP are two classes of problems. P is the class of decision problems that a deterministic Turing machine can solve in polynomial time. In useful terms, any ...

A solution to P vs NP could unlock countless computational problems—or keep them forever out of reach. 1. On Monday, July 19, 2021, in the middle of another strange pandemic summer, a leading computer ...

The field of microbial enzyme research is rapidly evolving as biotechnology and industrial processes increasingly depend on the exploitation of microbial ...

The biological world is computational at its core, argues computer scientist Leslie Valiant. His “ecorithm” approach uses computational concepts to explore fundamental mysteries of evolution and the ...
