Today's most powerful computers hit a wall when tackling certain problems, from designing new drugs to cracking encryption ...

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a key process in fuel cells and metal-air batteries, technologies expected to play a ...

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

Anchoring activities exert significant physical pressure on seabed, altering benthic habitats through mechanical disturbances. The European Marine Strategy Framework Directive mandates the assessment ...

Are quantum computers worth the billions that are being invested in them? The answer is probably many years away. However, the machines could prove to be particularly suited to solving problems in ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Computer scientists often deal with abstract problems that are hard to comprehend, but an exciting new algorithm matters to anyone who ...

In a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG), topological sorting is the process of linearly ranking vertices so that, for each directed edge u-v, vertex u appears before v in the ordering. Cycle Detection: Both ...

ABSTRACT: An intelligent crossover methodology within the genetic algorithm (GA) is explored within both mathematical and finite element arenas improving both design and solution convergence time.
