Pick a pen up off of your desk, hold it about a foot above the flat surface, and then let it drop. It hits the surface, and despite the fact that quantum mechanics suggest that there is a (very) small ...

One hundred and ninety-nine years after Charles Darwin was born, and 149 years after he published On the Origin of Species, some scientists say that the theory of evolution is due for a revision. Not ...

Part of “Complexity Theory,” a new column on the tangled questions of our technological age. By some accounts, the western world is experiencing a backlash against the same technologies which have ...

Stellenbosch University provides funding as a partner of The Conversation AFRICA. Universities are complex, dynamic organisations which must adapt in ways that aren’t always planned or predicted. For ...

They say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, but for computer scientists, two birds in a hole are better still. That’s because those cohabiting birds are the protagonists of a deceptively ...

An international team of researchers has developed a new theoretical framework that bridges physics and biology to provide a unified approach for understanding how complexity and evolution emerge in ...

Physicists know about the huge chasm between quantum physics and the theory of gravity. However, in recent decades, theoretical physics has provided some plausible conjecture to bridge this gap and to ...

Welcome to the website of the CS theory group at CU Boulder! Our faculty and students research all aspects of theoretical computer science, from core areas such as algorithms, complexity, and ...
