The Ford-Johnson algorithm, discovered by Lester R. Ford Jr. and Selmer M. Johnson in 1959, is historically significant as it was the first algorithm to sort n elements with fewer than the information ...

As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one maverick bioengineer is testing how much unprogrammed intelligence may already be lurking in our simplest algorithms to determine whether ...

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 ...

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 ...

Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons take on the style echo chamber. Fendi celebrates choice. By Vanessa Friedman Reporting from Milan The corrosive effects of our online lives have been pretty front and ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a 2-element insertion sort algorithm, an improved algorithm on the direct insertion sort, gives the algorithm design idea and the description in C. After analyzes ...

The waste crisis is devastating our planet. A lot of the stuff we throw gets dumped in landfills. These massive waste disposal sites are often created by destroying forests or inhabitable lands. For ...
