Systems controlled by next-generation computing algorithms could give rise to better and more efficient machine learning products, a new study suggests. Systems controlled by next-generation computing ...

UK’s advantageous position in the field is down to sustained long-term public investment from UK Research and Innovation and its partners, says Prof Charlotte Deane Dr Simon Williams (Letters, 19 ...

Long before modern computers existed, scientists and philosophers wondered whether machines could imitate human reasoning. This video traces the evolution of that idea from Aristotle’s logic and ...

It was once a degree to some of the highest-paying jobs in the world, but now the University of California is seeing a drop in enrollment for computer science. Part of the reason is that tech ...

Space and time aren’t just woven into the background fabric of the universe. To theoretical computer scientists, time and space (also known as memory) are the two fundamental resources of computation.

One day in November, a product strategist we’ll call Michelle (not her real name), logged into her LinkedIn account and switched her gender to male. She also changed her name to Michael, she told ...

In a world run by computers, there is one algorithm that stands above all the rest. It powers search engines, encrypts your data, guides rockets, runs simulations, and makes the modern digital ...
