It can take years to learn how to write computer code well. SourceAI, a Paris startup, thinks programming shouldn’t be such a big deal. The company is fine-tuning a tool that uses artificial ...

Biological materials are made of individual components, including tiny motors that convert fuel into motion. This creates patterns of movement, and the material shapes itself with coherent flows by ...

The rise of computational science has led to unprecedented opportunities for scientific advance. Ever more powerful computers enable theories to be investigated that were thought almost intractable a ...

Fourth graders participate in an introductory lesson on artificial intelligence during a computer applications class at Dr.

If you gave Shelley Charlton an Excel spreadsheet to maneuver, the high school business teacher could dazzle you. But if you asked her how to solve a problem using the Snap! visual programming ...

Programmers might need to 'read' code in programming languages, but it's not the language-processing part of the brain where blood flow increases during the activity. Instead, a group of MIT ...

Knowing how to program a computer is good for you, and it’s a shame more people don’t learn to do it. For years now, that’s been a hugely popular stance. It’s led to educational initiatives as ...

Neuroscientists have found reading computer code does not rely on the regions of the brain involved in language processing. Instead, it activates the 'multiple demand network,' which is also recruited ...

Modern science relies upon researchers sharing their work so that their peers can check and verify success or failure. But most scientists still don't share one crucial piece of information — the ...

In 2022, this series was expanded into a book, edited by Torie Bosch. Read “You Are Not Expected to Understand This”: How 26 Lines of Code Changed the World here. Back in 2009, Facebook launched a ...
