A quantum version of a computer algorithm widely used in finance, engineering and scientific modelling shows promising signs of operating much faster than existing methods. Experts say there are many ...

Researchers from MIT and elsewhere have developed a more user-friendly and efficient method to help networking engineers ...

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 ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

What do cars, bridges and airplanes have in common? They are all exposed to the open air most of the time and are subjected to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Airplanes are particularly ...
