In cellular automata, simple rules create elaborate structures. Now researchers can start with the structures and reverse-engineer the rules. Alexander Mordvintsev showed me two clumps of pixels on ...

Students who research with Normoyle have the unique opportunity to combine their interests in programming and computer science with art, something that is intrinsic to designing any game or virtual ...

Researchers got a better look at the thoughts of chatbots, amateurs learned exactly how complicated simple systems can be, and quantum computers passed an essential milestone. The end of 2024 seems a ...

For quantum computers to change the game of computation, scientists need to show that the machines’ calculations are correct. Now, there’s hope. Google’s Willow quantum chip has achieved verifiable ...
