Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...

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

Northwestern students wrestled with high-pressure problems at the Mid-Central Regional International Collegiate Programming Contest held in November.

Abstract: Robust multiobjective optimization problems (RMOPs) widely exist in real-world applications, which introduce a variety of uncertainty in optimization models. While some evolutionary ...

Since combinatorial optimization problems (COPs) are a class of non-deterministic polynomial-time (NP)-hard problems, it is impracticable to solve them in brute-force searches, which results in high ...

A number of years ago, I arranged a girls’ weekend in Dallas with my sister Peggy, my niece Jennifer, my two daughters Alison and Laura, and me – all traveling from different states. We had a great ...

After a four-day break, the healthier Chicago Bulls will head into enemy territory with hopes of snapping their seven-game losing streak. How can they fly home winners? Let's talk about it. What to ...
