Scientists from Kolkata’s Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics have genetically engineered bacteria that can perform calculations like addition and subtraction, as well as identify prime numbers. This ...

The ingredients for superfast computers could be nearly in place. For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that two silicon transistors acting as quantum bits can perform a tiny calculation.

Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to solve basic math problems – such as lining up numbers to add, starting with ...
