An artist’s impression of a quantum electrodynamics simulation using 100 qubits of an IBM quantum computer. The spheres and lines denote the qubits and connectivity of the IBM quantum processor; gold ...

Led Zeppelin might have built their reputation on their big, brash, and explosive live sets, but their first concert tour started as more of a whimper than a bang. The band’s inaugural U.K. tour began ...

Cryptography secures communication in banking, messaging, and blockchain. Good algorithms (AES, RSA, ECC, SHA-2/3, ChaCha20) are secure, efficient, and widely trusted. Bad algorithms (DES, MD5, SHA-1, ...

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 ...

Differential privacy (DP) stands as the gold standard for protecting user information in large-scale machine learning and data analytics. A critical task within DP is partition selection—the process ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

Hardware Fancy some unorthodox, techy ASMR? Try the soothing sound of 12 dial-up modems all trying to connect to the internet at once Hardware Google claims it has made a 'major breakthrough' in ...

The Ninth Circuit held that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) acted arbitrarily and capriciously by failing to explain in its Record of Decision why it selected a project alternative that did not ...

Astronomers use brokers to identify which signals to pursue in an endless stream of alerts. Looking up at the stars at night, it may not be obvious that the universe is constantly changing. But it is: ...
