In a world run by computers, there is one algorithm that stands above all the rest. It powers search engines, encrypts your data, guides rockets, runs simulations, and makes the modern digital ...

All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in general, research mathematicians don’t need to think about it ...

The numbers did not compute. Even before Terry Rozier dropped out of the 2023 NBA game in which he's accused of rigging his statistics, computers at an "integrity monitor" firm flagged a flood of bets ...

Abstract: Terahertz (THz) circular synthetic aperture radar (CSAR) demands higher precision in motion compensation (MOCO), posing significant challenges. To address this issue, this article proposes a ...

Abstract: This paper concerns the multi-UAV task assignment problem, which is solved by a multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm for adaptive region partitioning. Since the traditional ...

TikTok’s Chinese owner is poised to keep roughly half the profits from the app’s US business — even after ceding majority ownership to US investors under a deal pushed by President Trump, according to ...

As one of the cutting-edge research areas in modern physics, space-based gravitational wave detection aims at capturing gravitational wave signals in the mHz frequency band. A key technological ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered impossible for even the most powerful conventional supercomputers. The ...
