Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

The team used an AI method known as equation discovery to develop a model to simulate the interactions between small eddies—circular, vortex-like currents—and large-scale ones. These interactions are ...

In mathematics, proofs can be written down and shared. In cryptography, when people are trying to avoid revealing their ...

One day in November, a product strategist we’ll call Michelle (not her real name), logged into her LinkedIn account and switched her gender to male. She also changed her name to Michael, she told ...

In a world run by computers, there is one algorithm that stands above all the rest. It powers search engines, encrypts your data, guides rockets, runs simulations, and makes the modern digital ...

At M.I.T., a new program called “artificial intelligence and decision-making” is now the second-most-popular undergraduate major. By Natasha Singer Natasha Singer covers computer science and A.I.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Imagine a town with two widget merchants. Customers prefer cheaper widgets, so the merchants must compete to set the lowest price.
