A clear science explanation breaks down how lightning forms and why it branches through the air instead of traveling in a straight line to the ground. Real-life Haribo! Ultra-rare two-headed snake ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

Given an unweighted graph represented using adjacency lists and a source vertex s, compute the shortest path from the source vertex to all other vertices.

Description: The graph visualizer currently supports traversals. A great addition would be to implement a shortest path algorithm. This would involve allowing users to add weights to edges, select a ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

The Ministry of Women and Children Affairs convened a stirring gathering in Dhaka today—a multi-stakeholder consultation to reflect on the resounding echoes of the 69th United Nations Commission on ...
