Systems Approach Last year a couple of people forwarded to me the same article on a new method of finding shortest paths in networks.… The underlying research claims to improve on the classic approach ...

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs for ...

Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform ...

Imagine a world where artificial intelligence not only understands language but creates with it, where quantum systems no longer feel like an enigma but a solvable puzzle. It might sound like science ...

Artificial intelligence learned how to generate text and art better than ever before, while computer scientists developed algorithms that solved long-standing problems. In 2023, artificial ...

If you’ve been making the same commute for a long time, you’ve probably settled on what seems like the best route. But “best” is a slippery concept. Perhaps one day there’s an accident or road closure ...

Algorithms have taken on an almost mythical significance in the modern world. They determine what you see on social media and when browsing online, help form people’s belief systems, and impact the ...

Japanese firms Toshiba and MIRISE Technologies have demonstrated a breakthrough in autonomous mobility. The ...

Recent breakthroughs in quantum computing have led market commentators to, once again, claim that Bitcoin’s future is under threat. Google’s Willow quantum chip and its ability to significantly reduce ...
