Learn how to solve problems using linear programming. A linear programming problem involves finding the maximum or minimum value of an equation, called the objective functions, subject to a system of ...

In a step toward biological computing, brain organoids rewired their networks as they learned to balance a digital pole on a cart. Try balancing a ruler vertically on the palm of your hand while ...

After 30 months of fast-paced innovation in quantum algorithms, six research groups are hoping to hit paydirt. But there can be only one big winner—if there is a winner at all. I’m standing in front ...

A new AI framework called THOR is transforming how scientists calculate the behavior of atoms inside materials. Instead of relying on slow simulations that take weeks of supercomputer time, the system ...

In 2019, Monte Leifheit, a warehouse operator at 3M, noticed his left eye was bloodshot and swollen. What began as a minor irritation turned into a yearlong medical odyssey marked by the lack of a ...

In preclinical findings, the investigational new oral drug TIX100 completely prevented weight rebound in mouse models after semaglutide was stopped — a discovery that lays the groundwork for human ...

In parts of the Middle East and North Africa, a patchwork of sanctions, payment failures, and licensing gaps pushes people into piracy networks. In the Middle East, piracy is illegal in countries with ...

As tax season dawns, backlash to a nationwide surge in property-tax bills is spurring states to double down on proposals to diminish one of the main revenue sources for school districts. And that ...

Researchers at Nvidia have developed a technique that can reduce the memory costs of large language model reasoning by up to eight times. Their technique, called dynamic memory sparsification (DMS), ...

When my cofounder and I were accepted into a competitive startup accelerator program in fall 2025, we applied with an ambitious idea: to build an “AI scientist” for machine learning research. What ...

Over the weekend, Neel Somani, who is a software engineer, former quant researcher, and a startup founder, was testing the math skills of OpenAI’s new model when he made an unexpected discovery. After ...
