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 ...

As an undergraduate, Rob Pike first read Brian Kernighan's book on the C programming language while home sick from classes at the University of Toronto. "I lay in bed and I read it cover to cover," ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
