Heat waves are not all created equal. While some bring dry heat that rapidly dries out crops, others carry a lot of moisture that can prevent sweat from evaporating off the skin. In new research ...

We speak with Timnit Gebru, a leader in the field of AI ethics, about how artificial intelligence is entrenching societal biases and inequality. Gebru is the founder and executive director of the ...

Quantum advantage refers to the point at which a quantum computer solves a clearly defined task faster or more efficiently than any classical computer—or makes it solvable in the first place. For many ...

Silicon Valley companies are already working on neurotechnology products that track your brain activity. The next privacy frontier might be the things you only think.

Hui He explains why artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming mathematical work—and why that’s a good thing ...

The Science and Innovation Fund for Ukraine and the Ukrainian Catholic University have announced the establishment of the ...

Discover how your choice of college major can shape your career in the AI-driven economy, with insights into skills, programs, and strategies for success.

The truth is less dramatic. There are three ways that AI and quantum computers overlap: first, in the problems they try to solve; second, in the way each can be used to build the other; and third, in ...

The only snag was that “Shor’s algorithm”, as it is now known, required something that at the time only existed on university blackboards: a quantum computer. Chart: The Economist These days, quantum ...

Efficient data science depends on selecting the right data structures and algorithm patterns to process large datasets, optimize pipelines, and build scalable machine learning workflows. Hash maps, ...

In theoretical computer science, the key to cracking tough problems is finding the right tools. Most researchers gravitate toward tools that match the problems they hope to solve, and some devote ...

Some three years ago at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Duke University law professor Nita Farahany advocated for organisations to digitally monitor the brainwave activity of employees ...
