A recent article reports that an Oracle patent on a fast sorting method has expired, allowing open source databases to use it freely. Mark Callaghan, the inventor behind the sorting algorithm, shows ...

Blockchain could make smart devices far more secure, but sluggish data sharing has held it back. Researchers found that messy ...

The vision of a fully connected world is rapidly becoming a reality through the Internet of Things (IoT)—a growing network of ...

Abstract: This research work introduces a clustering-based in-place sorting algorithm, cluster sort. It is designed in such a way that it improves sorting efficiency by using data locality. It works ...

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 ...

Just this past school year, I attended a meeting with my department administrator, reviewing teacher observation data. The numbers didn’t lie—but they didn’t tell the full story. Despite our best ...

Astronomers use brokers to identify which signals to pursue in an endless stream of alerts. Looking up at the stars at night, it may not be obvious that the universe is constantly changing. But it is: ...
