Improve existing software. Create technologies that make everyday life better. Use computer science, and smartphones to capture more data from citizen scientists. Software is everywhere: interfaces to ...

Chemical reaction networks make up an old language of equations that detail how chemicals behave together. Now engineers at the University of Washington are taking this language into the 21st century ...

In the past two decades, technology and the choices we have as developers have moved forward very quickly. It’s mind boggling to reflect upon the dramatic changes in software engineering at Chariot ...

Biological engineers have created a programming language that allows them to rapidly design complex, DNA-encoded circuits that give new functions to living cells. MIT biological engineers have created ...

We ran a piece last year summarizing an IEEE study of programming-language popularity based on job listings. This article fostered conversation, including debates about whether the languages IEEE used ...

So we ended last episode with programming at the hardware level with things like plugboards and huge panels of switches, but what was really needed was a more versatile way to program computers - ...

Newer languages might soak up all the glory, but these die-hard languages have their place. Here are eight languages developers still use daily, and what they’re good for. The computer revolution has ...

Have you ever wondered if there is a correlation between a computer’s energy consumption and the choice of programming languages? Well, a group of Portuguese university researchers did and set out to ...

Scientists have developed a programming language for chemistry that they hope will streamline efforts to design a network that can guide the behavior of chemical-reaction mixtures in the same way that ...
