Lance Fortnow on the current status and future outlook of solving the P-NP problem.

In conventional computing, we can draw a clean line between software and hardware. In brains, there is no such separation of different scales. In the brain, everything influences everything else, from ...

Abstract: We study the compression of data in the case where the useful information is contained in a set rather than a vector, i.e., the ordering of the data points is irrelevant and the number of ...

"We have demonstrated that it is impossible to describe all aspects of physical reality using a computational theory of quantum gravity," says Dr. Faizal. "Therefore, no physically complete and ...

The hardest part of losing weight may be keeping it off. Research supports this conclusion. Some scientists believe that the human body has a set point weight that it returns to. If you lose weight, ...

Eyeing the bruises on the knuckles of the police officer arresting me, I took a deep breath and explained why we need to act faster to avoid climate catastrophe. Standing on a traffic island in London ...

A recent study enhances the thermodynamic theory of computation, introducing methods to estimate the minimum energy costs for random and unpredictable computational tasks, aiming to boost computing ...

The mission of the ITC is to advance our knowledge and understanding of the universe through computational and analytical means, to create a forum for exploration and discoveries in theoretical ...

In the coming decades, it seems inevitable that architects will increasingly focus on renovations and rehabilitations –especially in established urban centers–, whether to modernize outdated ...
