The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

Visualizes a city skyline that changes with the time of day using custom line and circle algorithms in OpenGL (PyOpenGL).

Abstract: On a computer (PC) producing a circle is a slightly tedious task, this problem was first solved by the Bresenham's circle drawing algorithm, further that same algorithm was again improved by ...

The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal. Computer scientists often ...

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithms is helping to accelerate brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). Published in this month’s Nature Neuroscience is new research that shows ...

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs for ...
