Inspired by the Japanese art of kirigami, an MIT team has designed a technique that could transform flat panels into medical devices, habitats, and other objects without the use of tools.

A header-only C++ implementation of the single-source shortest path (SSSP) algorithm for sparse directed graphs with non-negative weights, based on the 2025 paper by Duan et al. This algorithm is ...

This peaceful walking trail in Chengdu, China, runs alongside a narrow river with trees, flowers, and open lawns. The paved path offers a relaxing experience for walkers, joggers, and those looking to ...

Abstract: Path finding is a technique that is employed extensively for determination of Shortest Path (SP) between source node and destination node. There are various path-finding algorithms like ...

Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...

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 ...

Life events like recessions, health scares or inheritances often spark an urgent search for financial advice, making it critical for advisors to be digitally visible before the need arises. With 92% ...

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 ...
