Our genetic heritage is not a blueprint or an algorithm, as many biologists have imagined, but something else entirely.

A recent study has revealed that specific patterns of gene activity serve as a hidden map that guides the complex wiring of the entire brain. By using machine learning to analyze mouse brain data, ...

Algorithms are everywhere, even when we do not notice them. They help us search the web, navigate roads, and discover new content online. Understanding how algorithms work is one of the simplest ways ...

A new quantum-inspired algorithm has cracked a problem so massive that conventional supercomputers struggle to even approach it. Researchers used the method to simulate extraordinarily complex quantum ...

Proteogenomics explores how genetic information translates into protein expression and function, and the role of changes across DNA, RNA, and proteins in influencing disease development and ...

Abstract: The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), a classic combinatorial optimization problem, has been extensively studied for many years. Recently, the Multi-solution Traveling Salesman Problem ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

The inhabitants of Carthage were long thought to have derived from Levantine Phoenicians. But an eight-year study suggests they were more closely related to Greeks. By Franz Lidz The Phoenicians were ...

The operation of the power grid is closely related to meteorological disasters. Changes in meteorological conditions may have an impact on the operation and stability of the power system, leading to ...

For the last few years or so, the story in the artificial intelligence that was accepted without question was that all of the big names in the field needed more compute, more resources, more energy, ...
