Right now, the debate about consciousness often feels frozen between two entrenched positions. On one side sits computational ...

Computers can be used to help solve problems. However, before a problem can be tackled, it must first be understood. Computational thinking helps us to solve problems. Designing, creating and refining ...

A professor has helped create a powerful new algorithm that uncovers hidden patterns in complex networks, with potential uses in fraud detection, biology and knowledge discovery. University of ...

Rice quantum computing researchers have introduced a novel algorithm that earned the team a place in the global XPRIZE Quantum Applications competition.

The familiar fight between “mind as software” and “mind as biology” may be a false choice. This work proposes biological computationalism: the idea that brains compute, but not in the abstract, symbol ...

What’s the best way to solve hard problems? That’s the question at the heart of a subfield of computer science called computational complexity theory. It’s a hard question to answer, but flip it ...

A new technique allows complex interactions in materials to be simulated using Monte Carlo simulations thousands of times ...

An algorithm is a list of rules to follow in order to complete a task or solve a problem. The steps in an algorithm need to be in the right order. Think about an algorithm for getting dressed in the ...
