Rather than wait for bacteria to develop resistance to new drugs, researchers have created a computer program that puts them on the offense. The algorithm, explained in a study published last month in ...

Computer programs are now essential for the analysis of large population genetics data sets that are increasingly being generated. We review 24 such programs here, and list their main features, ...

Some scientific discoveries matter because they reveal something new — the double helical structure of DNA, for example, or the existence of black holes. However, some revelations are profound because ...

In just over a day, a powerful computer program accomplished a feat that took physicists centuries to complete: extrapolating the laws of motion from a pendulum's swings. Developed by Cornell ...

Recently, I watched a fellow particle physicist talk about a calculation he had pushed to a new height of precision. His tool? A 1980s-era computer program called FORM. Particle physicists use some of ...
