Neuromorphic computers, inspired by the architecture of the human brain, are proving surprisingly adept at solving complex ...

Automated design of metaheuristic algorithms offers an attractive avenue to reduce human effort and gain enhanced performance beyond human intuition. Current automated methods design algorithms within ...

In a world run by computers, there is one algorithm that stands above all the rest. It powers search engines, encrypts your data, guides rockets, runs simulations, and makes the modern digital ...

All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in general, research mathematicians don’t need to think about it ...

The numbers did not compute. Even before Terry Rozier dropped out of the 2023 NBA game in which he's accused of rigging his statistics, computers at an "integrity monitor" firm flagged a flood of bets ...

Barrier-grid animations (also called scanimations) are a thing most people would recognize on sight, even if they didn’t know what they were called. Move a set of opaque strips over a pattern, and ...

You’re at the checkout screen after an online shopping spree, ready to enter your credit card number. You type it in and instantly see a red error message ...

A new report by Capgemini warns that quantum computing may break the widely used public-key cryptographic systems within the next decade — threatening everything from online banking to blockchain ...

Companies are increasingly using pricing algorithms and other AI systems to develop and improve their ability to promptly respond to market conditions, innovate product offerings, and set prices.

In the United States, the current administration’s import tariffs are hitting the design industry hard—and this impact is only growing. In addition to a new baseline 10% hike, these levied taxes on ...

When it comes to teaching math, a debate has persisted for decades: How, and to what degree, should algorithms be a focus of learning math? The step-by-step procedures are among the most debated ...
