A team of researchers at Queen's University has developed a powerful new kind of computing machine that uses light to take on complex problems such as protein folding (for drug discovery) and number ...

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 ...

Abstract: Ising machines have received growing interest as efficient and hardware-friendly solvers for combinatorial optimization problems (COPs). They search for the absolute or approximate ground ...

The Tesla Model Y’s midcycle refresh brought significant enough changes to earn it a spot in our 2026 SUV of the Year competition. The full list of updates is extensive, but the highlights matter.

The Ising model, when used as a technique, refers to a computational and analytical framework for studying systems of binary variables with pairwise interactions, typically on a lattice or graph, via ...

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 ...

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.

Model making is a great hobby, but knowing how and where to start is another story. It can be overwhelming for novices: Injection-molded plastic models have been on the market for close to a century, ...
