J. Nathan Matias is an assistant professor at the Department of Communication, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA, and a 2022–23 fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral ...

As organizations increasingly rely on algorithms to rank candidates for jobs, university spots, and financial services, a new ...

As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one maverick bioengineer is testing how much unprogrammed intelligence may already be lurking in our simplest algorithms to determine whether ...

We use algorithms every day for things like image searches, predictive text, and securing sensitive data. Algorithms show up ...

Conventional quantum algorithms are not feasible for solving combinatorial optimization problems (COPs) with constraints in the operation time of quantum computers. To address this issue, researchers ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

In this edition of Founder FAQ, Petra Smith, founder and Managing Director of the UK-based marketing consultancy Squirrels&Bears, answers: “How can I make my content go viral on social media?” You can ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you’ve been making the same commute for a long time, you’ve probably settled on what seems like the best route. But “best” is a ...

Despite some progress, gender discrimination in hiring remains a challenge. Women are judged more harshly than men, with a broad assumption of less competence. Only 15 percent of CEOs at Fortune 500 ...

In space engineering, electronic component layout has a very important impact on the centroid stability and heat dissipation of devices. However, the diversity of components, a variety of spatial ...
