As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one maverick bioengineer is testing how much unprogrammed intelligence may already be lurking in our simplest algorithms to determine whether ...

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 ...

Abstract: A novel and efficient hybrid sorting algorithm, termed the Merge-Block-Insertion sort (MBISort) algorithm, is proposed. MBISort combines the principles of insertion sort, block sort, and ...
