Computer scientists are looking to evolutionary biology for inspiration in the search for optimal solutions among astronomically huge sets of possibilities. Creationists love to insist that evolution ...

The evolution of computer graphics is something that has been well documented over the years, and it’s a topic that we always enjoy revisiting with our retrocomputing readers. To wit, [Stephen A.

Since the introduction of the IBM PC in 1981, desktop computers have become a standard fixture in most workplaces. Through their ubiquity and impact on how work is done, personal computers (PCs) ...

From a pair of simple principles of evolution--chance mutation and natural selection--nature has constructed an almost unfathomable richness of life around us. Despite our scientific sophistication, ...

In this video, I explain how computer scientists simulate evolution to train or evolve AI. Explore the fascinating ...

When Bill Buxton worked at Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Center in the early 1990s, he examined the classic children’s homemade telephones: two cups connected by a taut string. He wondered why that same ...

The shift to digitally networked societies, where daily activities are interlinked with the help of computer-based systems, artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies, is having a huge ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue University engineers have new information contradicting the most dire predictions about the imminent demise of Moore's Law, a general rule that is central to the ...

Repeated environmental changes can lead evolution in unexpected directions, and research from Vermont shows that studying a single population does not capture the full story of an entire species. All ...

Smaller, Thinner…’ Technology known as brain-computer interface (BCI), which reads signals from the human brain to control machines or computers, is advancing rapidly. A fierce competition is underway ...

When Carlos Noreña entered UC Berkeley as a freshman in 1988, he, like so many university students, “came armed with a large, boxy Apple Macintosh computer.” As students, the computer is our lifeline, ...
