Sometimes, it’s easy for a computer to predict the future. Simple phenomena, such as how sap flows down a tree trunk, are straightforward and can be captured in a few lines of code using what ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

Home > Extreme Google Fed a Language Algorithm Math Equations. It Learned How to Solve New Ones. Computers fail at even simple math more often than many of us realize and that flaw is rooted in the ...

Quantum computers can do wondrous things: too bad they do not exist yet. That has not stopped physicists from devising new algorithms for the devices, which can calculate a lot faster than ordinary ...

The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun, and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all are governed by the same laws of physics and give rise to a complex phenomenon known ...

In 2017, Roger Guimerà and Marta Sales-Pardo discovered a cause of cell division, the process driving the growth of living beings. But they couldn’t immediately reveal how they learned the answer. The ...

Machine-learning engineers from the University of Bristol think they might have the master equation to predicting the popularity of a song. Simple, right? The "w"s are "weights," or musical features ...
