A.I. Writes Buggy Code. A Silicon Valley Start-Up Wants to Fix It.

These start-ups, including Axiom Math and Harmonic, both in Palo Alto, Calif., and Logical Intelligence in San Francisco, hope to create A.I. systems that can automatically verify computer code in ...

Quantum computing meets the Möbius molecule

Thanks to the alternating single-double nature of the bonds, electrons in these orbitals end up delocalized; the differences between the bonds become a bit irrelevant, and the molecule is best viewed ...

AI can rewrite open source code—but can it rewrite the license, too?

Computer engineers and programmers have long relied on reverse engineering as a way to copy the functionality of a computer ...

From automata to algorithms: How the first computer was imagined

Long before modern computers existed, scientists and philosophers wondered whether machines could imitate human reasoning. This video traces the evolution of that idea from Aristotle’s logic and ...

AI-enabled quantum refinement cracks the code of difficult-to-map proteins

Using a tool to solve a protein's structure, for most researchers in the world of structural biology and computational chemistry, is not unlike using the Rosetta Stone to unlock the secrets of ancient ...
