Back in the hazy olden days of the pre-2000s, navigating between two locations generally required someone to whip out a paper map and painstakingly figure out the most optimal route between those ...

A new technique breaks Dijkstra's 70-year-old record: it finds routes faster in huge networks, changing graph theory forever.

What’s the best way to solve hard problems? That’s the question at the heart of a subfield of computer science called computational complexity theory. It’s a hard question to answer, but flip it ...

Rice quantum computing researchers have introduced a novel algorithm that earned the team a place in the global XPRIZE Quantum Applications competition.

As algorithms become more widespread within government institutions, there are two basic challenges. One is to design better ...

In today's digital landscape, algorithms are the unseen architects of our online experiences, acting as gatekeepers that determine what content users see and, consequently, consume. These complex sets ...
