Morgan McSweeney’s crusade against White House health and science policies has made him a star. It’s not a job he ever wanted ...

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

Abstract: Sorting algorithms are fundamental to computational efficiency, with traditional methods like Quick Sort, Merge Sort, and Heap Sort being widely used despite their complexity and performance ...

There’s a familiar look in every college lecture hall. The glazed-over stare of someone just realizing they’re twelve slides wholly behind and lost. The professor keeps talking. The notes don’t make ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Computer scientists often deal with abstract problems that are hard to comprehend, but an exciting new algorithm matters to anyone who ...

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. Computer scientists often ...

Merge sort is entirely different than the sorting algorithms we’ve seen so far, and it represents an important class of algorithms—divide-and-conquer algorithms. Divide-and-conquer algorithms work by ...
