A Rochester Institute of Technology Ph.D. student was part of a team of researchers that settled a 90-year-old math problem called Keller’s conjecture. David Narváez, a computing and information ...

It’s no secret that computers can smoke humans at chess. And now, as if to further mock our mere organic forms, scientists say they’ve created a computer made out of DNA that can play the board game — ...

For decades, the solution to harder problems has been ‘build a bigger computer’— but what if this is the wrong strategy altogether? This is because some problems defeat computers, not because they are ...

Wave, the testnet has drawn 13,000 sign-ups and early work from six research teams, but remains an experimental environment ...

When a commercial quantum computer will surpass classical machines for real-world optimization is unknown, but probabilistic p-computers with p-bits offer a practical interim path. (Nanowerk News) It ...

One question in computer science has stood above the rest for decades, resisting every attempt to settle it despite its ...

After 30 months of fast-paced innovation in quantum algorithms, six research groups are hoping to hit paydirt. But there can be only one big winner—if there is a winner at all. I’m standing in front ...

Researchers at Google have created an algorithm that can translate complex physical problems into the language of quantum mechanics, which could make quantum computers able to tackle more tasks. IBM’s ...

When the Clay Mathematics Institute put individual $1-million prize bounties on seven unsolved mathematical problems, they may have undervalued one entry—by a lot. If mathematicians were to resolve, ...

Get the latest federal technology news delivered to your inbox. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is looking for companies to build the hardware and software quantum computers need to ...

An early attempt at creating a universal problem- solving machine. Developed in 1957 by Herbert Simon, J.C. Shaw and Allen Newell, the General Problem Solver (GPS) was designed to solve any problem ...
