Neuron-powered computer chips can now be easily programmed to play a first-person shooter game, bringing biological computers a step closer to useful applications ...

Learn how physics and programming come together in this Python simulation of elastic collisions! In this tutorial, we explore the fundamental principles of momentum and energy conservation while ...

Hunhold: Scientific computing needs high dynamic range: You need very large numbers, or very small numbers, and very high accuracy in both cases. The 64-bit standard has an excessive dynamic range, ...

A competition calling for research projects involving so-called AI scientists shows just how fast this technology is moving. A number of startups and university teams that are building “AI scientists” ...

There will be two modalities for this course. We will meet in person or online. We will give you at least one week's notice when we go from virtual to in-person or vice versa. When we meet online, the ...

Most dog owners are aware that their pooch is smart enough to know a few choice phrases—“walkies,” for instance, or, perhaps more likely, “time for dinner.” Some particularly intelligent canines can ...

An AI model that learns without human input—by posing interesting queries for itself—might point the way to superintelligence. Save this story Save this story Even the smartest artificial intelligence ...

Neuromorphic computers, inspired by the architecture of the human brain, are proving surprisingly adept at solving complex mathematical problems that underpin scientific and engineering challenges.

Scientists have developed molecular devices that can switch roles, behaving as memory, logic, or learning elements within the same structure. The breakthrough comes from precise chemical design that ...
