Algorithms are one of the four cornerstones of Computer Science. An algorithm is a plan, a set of step-by-step instructions to solve a problem. If you can tie shoelaces, make a cup of tea ...

The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal.

An algorithm inspired by quantum computers but used on classical machines can make weather forecasts and other turbulence simulations a thousand times easier to run ...

Scattering takes place across the universe at large and miniscule scales. Billiard balls clank off each other in bars, the ...

In a milestone that brings quantum computing tangibly closer to large-scale practical use, scientists at Oxford University ...
