Overview: Algorithm selection is an engineering decision: the wrong choice can freeze a system at scale, regardless of ...

This paper deals with the two-dimensional strip packing problem (2D-SPP) with the order/or multi-drop and vertical stability constraints. The existing exact algorithm that solves this problem is not ...

A new quantum-inspired algorithm has cracked a problem so massive that conventional supercomputers struggle to even approach it. Researchers used the method to simulate extraordinarily complex quantum ...

As Big Tech companies face legal backlash for addictive features and potential mental health risk, parents are ceding responsibility for what happens inside the home. On March 25th, Meta and Google ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered impossible for even the most powerful conventional supercomputers. The ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...

Drop in at a library, and you’ll likely notice that most shelves aren’t full—librarians leave some empty space on each shelf. That way, when they get new books, they can slot them into place without ...

With a little over a year to the big celebration of our 250th anniversary of American independence (see America250-Ohio.org for more info!), I asked you to think with me about the specific wording and ...

A Java-based 3D cargo packing system using greedy heuristics & backtracking. It determines if a truck’s cargo space can be fully filled and calculates the max possible storage value. Includes ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Computer scientists often deal with abstract problems that are hard to comprehend, but an exciting new algorithm matters to anyone who ...

It took a superstar couples therapist to help me see beyond my anger. The author Daniel Oppenheimer and his wife, Jess, rewatching a recording of their Zoom sessions with the couples therapist and ...

You may have noticed that Smokey Bear has changed his tagline. In fact, it’s been different for years now, but with current news stories, it catches the ear differently. Many of us grew up with Smokey ...
