David Cutler is in the spotlight for his work on a tasty-sounding mathematics problem. In January, the New York Times featured a research paper authored by Cutler and Neil Sloane, the founder of The ...

Mental math shortcuts suggest future STEM performance—and gender is a significant predictor What is 29 + 14?

Many engineering challenges come down to the same headache—too many knobs to turn and too few chances to test them. Whether tuning a power grid or designing a safer vehicle, each evaluation can be ...

For decades, the solution to harder problems has been ‘build a bigger computer’— but what if this is the wrong strategy altogether? This is because some problems defeat computers, not because they are ...

Abstract: Dynamic environments pose great challenges for expensive optimization problems, as the objective functions of these problems change over time and thus require remarkable computational ...

We've wondered for centuries whether knowledge is latent and innate or learned and grasped through experience, and a new research project is asking the same question about AI. When you purchase ...

CAMBRIDGE, U.K. – A small Microsoft Research team had lofty goals when it set out four years ago to create an analog optical computer that would use light as a medium for solving complex problems.

What if the toughest problems humanity faces—those that stump our brightest minds and stretch the limits of human ingenuity—could be tackled by a single, purpose-built system? Enter Gemini Deep Think, ...

Solving optimization problems is challenging for existing digital computers and even for future quantum hardware. The practical importance of diverse problems, from healthcare to financial ...

ABSTRACT: This study focuses on the numerical investigation of fluid flow, heat transfer, and free MHD convection through a semi-infinite vertical porous plate, considering the effects of chemical ...

Annealing processors (APs) are gaining popularity for solving complex optimization problems. Fully-coupled Ising model APs are especially valued for their flexibility, but balancing capacity (number ...
