The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Imagine a town with two widget merchants. Customers prefer cheaper widgets, so the merchants must compete to set the lowest price.

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. All of modern mathematics is built on ...

We’re racing towards a future in which devices will be able to read our thoughts. You see signs of it everywhere, from brain-computer interfaces to algorithms that detect emotions from facial scans.

The ever-growing use of technology in society makes it clear that computer programming may be a valuable skill. But how do our brains learn to code? Cultural skills, like reading and math, typically ...

Computer programming powers modern society and enabled the artificial intelligence revolution, but little is known about how our brains learn this essential skill. To help answer that question, Johns ...

Parts of the brain are "rewired" when people learn computer programming, according to new research. Scientists watched university students’ brains as they learned to code. The team used functional ...

Summary: Learning to code doesn’t require new brain systems—it builds on the ones we already use for logic and reasoning. Researchers found that when people learned programming, the same ...
