Pick up any science fiction book from the 1960s, and you’ll find parallel dimensions explained through magic portals or mysterious machines that work “just because.” Today’s readers want stories that ...

The design of materials guided by computation is expected to lead to the discovery of new materials, reduction of materials development time and cost, and the rapid evolution of new materials into ...

Computational neuroscientists have developed a computational model that provides insight into the function of the brain's visual cortex and the information processing that enables people to perceive ...

The prolific researcher found deep connections between randomness and computation and spent a career influencing cryptographers, complexity researchers and more. For more than 40 years, Avi Wigderson ...

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) on Wednesday announced that it has awarded this year's A.M. Turing prize, often referred to as the Nobel Prize of computing, to computer scientist and ...

Our newsroom has a good number of humanities concentrators. Writing for fun? Interviewing strangers? Debating whether split infinitives are egregious grammatical errors or a valid style choice? The ...
