Abstract: Pathfinding is widely applied when encountering autonomous driving, mobile robot pathfinding, and so on. Traditional pathfinding algorithms have certain limitations such as high ...

New research suggests that the x-ray light coming from the Milky Way’s central black hole Sagittarius A* has changed dramatically in the span of just a few hundred years Supermassive black holes are ...

While the creation of this new entity marks a big step toward avoiding a U.S. ban, as well as easing trade and tech-related tensions between Washington and Beijing, there is still uncertainty ...

TikTok’s algorithm favors mental health content over many other topics, including politics, cats and Taylor Swift, according to a Washington Post analysis. At first, the mental health-related videos ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

Researchers at the University of Kent, UK, introduced LiteRBS (Lightweight and Rapid Bidirectional Search), a novel grid-based pathfinding algorithm designed for efficient and scalable navigation in ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. 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 ...

We have found hot wind blasting out from our galaxy’s supermassive black hole for the first time, which could help us understand its mysterious inactivity. Compared to many other supermassive black ...

Kelley Cotter has received funding from the National Science Foundation. Chinese tech giant ByteDance finalized its agreement to sell a majority stake in its video platform TikTok to a group of U.S.

Algorithms, which are just sets of instructions expressed in code, are harder to restrict than physical goods. But governments, including the U.S., have long tried to prevent their export. The ...
