‘Minimum obstacle skeletons’ could be used to optimise mass telecommunications and transport networks. But first, we need to solve a puzzle

To celebrate the Year of Quantum, a physicist explains why this ‘spooky’ science is destined to become even more important in every area of our lives

Pioneering 95-year-old Australian mathematician and statistician Alison Harcourt AO has made a big impact on her field, and on her colleagues

A major obstacle to quantum computing has been overcome by modifying a common industrial method to create large arrays of single atoms in a silicon chip

In times of remote communication and notorious connection problems, how do we empathise with each other through the curtain of technology when non-verbal cues are missing?

It took a mob to attack the US Capitol before then President Trump’s incitement was banned by the social media companies, but these same companies routinely censor the marginalised

Associate Professor Dunbar-Hester discusses the cultures and the communities of the digital era, with a focus on media and tech activists

Computational social science has come to the fore in the COVID-19 response, allowing policy makers to trial policies on ‘artificial societies’ and see the results – before doing it in real life

A machine learning framework has been created to precisely locate atom-sized quantum bits in silicon – a crucial step for building a large-scale silicon quantum computer

Why has a pornographic image been widely used to train computer scientists and their algorithms? And what sort of message does it send to women?
