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.

Silicon chips are marvels of engineering, but they were never designed for the reality the universe throws at them. High-energy particles, electrical noise, and quantum effects all conspire to make ...

Dr. Shaw and Dr. Hilton teach software engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. For decades, computer science students have been taught a central skill: using computers to solve problems. In ...

“Vibe coding,” a form of software development that involves turning natural language into computer code by using artificial intelligence (AI), has been named Collins Dictionary’s Word of the Year for ...

Over the past few years, physicists have predicted that a new form of matter called time crystals may have potential applications in quantum computing. Now in a new study, physicists Raditya Weda ...

If such a simulation were possible, the simulated universe could itself give rise to life, which in turn might create its own simulation. This recursive possibility makes it seem highly unlikely that ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

Qiang Tang receives funding from Google via Digital Future Initiative to support the research on this project. Moti Yung works for Google as a distinguished research scientist. Yanan Li is supported ...

Code.org CEO Hadi Partovi during an event in Seattle in July, announcing a new “Hour of AI” campaign to demystify AI in the spirit of the group’s past “Hour of Code” initiatives. (GeekWire Photo / ...

UK banks are still using software code that was written in the 1960s and 1970s, with only a handful of employees who understand them. According to a survey of 200 UK banks, 16% rely on software from ...

Some of Julie York’s high school computer science students are worried about what generative artificial intelligence will mean for future careers in the tech industry. If generative AI can code, then ...
