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 ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

New computer algorithms modeled on the human brain have learned to classify galaxies by shape, size and color with 90 percent accuracy.

A new study has mapped the genetic blueprint of neural stem and progenitor cells (NPCs), the rare cells responsible for ...

Ever wondered what was the most efficient way to alphabetize a giant pile of books? Check out the perfect real-world algorithm for just such a task.

PhD student Timo Bingmann has created an amazing video showing sorting algorithms in action. And it's surprisingly awesome!
