A group of computer gamers are making habit of outshining scientists at their own game. Most of them have no scientific background, but they have a track record of cracking tough scientific puzzles, ...

An explanation of what Breadth-First Search is for beginners. We will gently introduce the differences from DFS, how queues work, finding the shortest path in a maze, and its relationship to AI ...

Frances Arnold, the Caltech scientist who shared the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, says evolution can show us how to solve problems of sustainability. “I’m an engineer, trained as an engineer. I have ...

Computational biologists at the University of Toronto have developed an artificial intelligence algorithm that has the potential to create novel protein molecules as finely tuned therapeutics. Their ...

Researchers have developed an algorithm that enhances the ability of a quantum computer to more efficiently find the best solution for complicated problems. Tohoku University researchers have ...
