Is nature inherently random or is perfect randomness just an illusion based on our ignorance?
The twin primes conjecture is one of the most important and difficult questions in mathematics. Two mathematicians have solved a parallel version of the problem for small number systems.
Fifty years after the current internet was born, the physicist and computer scientist Stephanie Wehner is planning and designing the next internet — a quantum one.
A brain circuit that suppresses distracting sensory information holds important clues about attention and other cognitive processes.
The way you learned to multiply works, but computers employ a faster algorithm.
After successfully predicting laboratory earthquakes, a team of geophysicists has applied a machine learning algorithm to quakes in the Pacific Northwest.
Maintaining perfect stability through negative feedback is a basic element of electrical circuitry, but it’s been a mystery how cells could do it — until now.
In some ways, machine vision is superior to human vision. In other ways, it may never catch up.
Origin-of-life researchers have usually studied the potential of pure starting materials, but messy mixtures of chemicals may kick-start life more effectively.
