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 ...

Leaders don’t fail from complexity overload. They fail from pretending it’s simple, then engineering systems that move ...

Vitalik Buterin questions whether Elon Musk’s plan to open-source X’s algorithm will deliver real, verifiable transparency for users.

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 ...

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 ...

Plastics recycling is evolving but still faces major challenges as material types are more varied and complex than ever. This complexity often creates issues in sorting, making it difficult for ...

Abstract: This paper compares the time complexity of various sorting algorithms for the logic, code and time complexity of each algorithm. The sorting algorithms that this paper discusses are ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Computer scientists often deal with abstract problems that are hard to comprehend, but an exciting new algorithm matters to anyone who ...
