Northwestern Engineering’s Samir Khuller welcomed the presenters and guests of part two of the Undergraduate Research Showcase by discussing the importance of academic curiosity. “Knowledge is not a ...

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. All of modern mathematics is built on ...

When the Clay Mathematics Institute put individual $1-million prize bounties on seven unsolved mathematical problems, they may have undervalued one entry—by a lot. If mathematicians were to resolve, ...

Last year, 18 percent of Stanford University seniors graduated with a degree in computer science, more than double the proportion of just a decade earlier. Over the same period at MIT, that rate went ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory just launched Pathfinder, a quantum computer built to tackle complex global challenges.

He built interfaces that allowed engineers, scientists and everyday people to solve difficult problems without having to write the underlying code.

As humans have come to rely on artificial intelligence to make decisions traditionally performed by bureaucrats and institutions, it is necessary to understand the ways in which various forms of ...
