It's a simple word that has developed a sinister connotation: algorithm. For many of us, algorithms help determine what we watch, read and listen to — in the process, confirming our tastes and biases, ...

A new quantum-inspired algorithm has cracked a problem so massive that conventional supercomputers struggle to even approach it. Researchers used the method to simulate extraordinarily complex quantum ...

Researchers from MIT and elsewhere have developed a more user-friendly and efficient method to help networking engineers identify potential system failures before they cause major problems, like a ...

Quantifying structure complexity in filamentous matter, like proteins and polymers, via topological metrics, can be of prohibitive computational cost. A classical example is the Jones polynomial, ...

Timely reconstruction of epidemic dynamics is essential for public health, and structured coalescent models constitute an essential tool for this purpose. However, statistical and computational ...

If it feels like social platforms suddenly “get” you more than they used to, you’re not imagining it! In 2026, feeds aren’t only reacting to what you click anymore. They’re predicting what you ...

new video loaded: I’m Building an Algorithm That Doesn’t Rot Your Brain transcript Jack Conte, the chief executive of Patreon, a platform for creators to monetize their art and content, outlines his ...

new video loaded: I’m Building an Algorithm That Doesn’t Rot Your Brain transcript “Our brains are being melted by the algorithm.” [MUSIC PLAYING] “Attention is infrastructure.” “Those algorithms are ...

As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one maverick bioengineer is testing how much unprogrammed intelligence may already be lurking in our simplest algorithms to determine whether ...
