A new algorithm solves the long-standing “hidden line problem” of computer graphics

How, and whether, to keep atomic time in sync with Earth’s rotation is still up for debate

Acquaintances, more than close friends, show the strength of “weak ties” when it comes to employment

Flexible organic circuits that mimic biological neurons could increase processing speed and might someday hook right into your head

The CHIPS and Science Act aims to support domestic semiconductor production, new high-tech jobs and scientific research—even NASA

Scientists scramble to forecast where and when the disease-carrying arthropods pose the most danger

When we first started researching Klára Dán von Neumann, we thought she was “the computer scientist you should thank for your smartphone’s weather app.” It turns out that’s not true

Eventually, the most ethical option might be to divert all resources toward building very happy machines

The same physics that makes quantum computers powerful also makes them finicky. New techniques aim to correct errors faster than they can build up

Klára Dán von Neumann encounters a new home, a new husband and a new project

Social media companies need to give their data to independent researchers to better understand how to keep users safe

In the newest season of Lost Women of Science, we enter a world of secrecy, computers and nuclear weapons—and see how Klára Dán von Neumann was a part of all of it.
