A new quantum-inspired algorithm has cracked a problem so massive that conventional supercomputers struggle to even approach ...

Personalized algorithms may quietly sabotage how people learn, nudging them into narrow tunnels of information even when they start with zero prior knowledge. In the study, participants using ...

For years, robotic laser-arc hybrid welding in narrow gaps has been a bottleneck for high-efficiency fabrication, limited by the difficulty of maintaining stability in tight tolerances. However, ...

A new note to investors from financial analysts at LightShed Partners poses the controversial question of whether broadcast networks should scrap entertainment programming given the long-term declines ...

In the era of A.I. agents, many Silicon Valley programmers are now barely programming. Instead, what they’re doing is deeply, deeply weird. Credit...Illustration by Pablo Delcan and Danielle Del Plato ...

Distinguished delegates, colleagues and friends, Writers and futurists have long echoed Alvin and Heidi Toffler’s idea that “the future arrives too fast…and in the wrong order.” Today, we know, the ...

CasADi is a symbolic framework for numeric optimization implementing automatic differentiation in forward and reverse modes on sparse matrix-valued computational graphs. It supports self-contained ...

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 ...

Abstract: This article presents an inverse optimal control (IOC) approach for nonlinear polynomial systems based on adaptive dynamic programming (ADP). First, a novel model-based algorithm is ...

Chinese tech giant ByteDance finalized its agreement to sell a majority stake in its video platform TikTok to a group of U.S. investors. TikTok announced on Jan. 22, 2026, that it has formed TikTok ...

OpenAI and Google DeepMind demonstrated that their foundation models could outperform human coders — and win — showing that large language models (LLMs) can solve complex, previously unsolved ...

How do the algorithms that populate our social media feeds actually work? In a piece for Time Magazine excerpted from his recent book Robin Hood Math, Noah Giansiracusa sheds light on the algorithms ...
