The most widely adopted computer language in history, COBOL is now causing a host of problems. It's also dangerously difficult to remove.

For years, the guiding assumption of artificial intelligence has been simple: an AI is only as good as the data it has seen. Feed it more, train it longer, and it performs better. Feed it less, and it ...

An AI agent reads its own source code, forms a hypothesis for improvement (such as changing a learning rate or an architecture depth), modifies the code, runs the experiment, and evaluates the results ...

A method for making quantum computers less error-prone could let them run complex programs such as simulations of materials more efficiently, thus making them more useful ...

International Business Machines stock is getting slammed Monday, becoming the latest perceived victim of rapidly developing AI technology, after Anthropic said its Claude Code tool could be used to ...

Clarification: A previous version of this story had a different image. It has been updated for clarity. Walk into any kindergarten classroom this fall, and there’s a good chance students will be ...

Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...

As companies like Amazon and Microsoft lay off workers and embrace A.I. coding tools, computer science graduates say they’re struggling to land tech jobs. Manasi Mishra recently graduated from Purdue ...

The Babylonians used separate combinations of two symbols to represent every single number from 1 to 59. That sounds pretty confusing, doesn’t it? Our decimal system seems simple by comparison, with ...

What if we said you could run farther and faster, while sidestepping fatigue and avoiding injury, simply by incorporating precisely planned recovery intervals? That’s right, we’re talking about the ...

Computer science involves much more than writing code. It blends technical knowledge —like programming, algorithms and data systems — with soft skills, such as communication and problem-solving.
