Four Indian American researchers — Aayush Jain, Arun Kumar Kuchibhotla and Aditi Raghunathan from Carnegie Mellon University ...

When you swing a tennis racket or catch a set of keys, you aren’t thinking about wind resistance or gravity. Yet, to perform that motion, your brain is solving a massive physics problem in ...

Henry Yuen is developing a new mathematical language to describe problems whose inputs and outputs aren’t ordinary numbers.

An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to optimally simulate them on a computer? The answer comes from AI. Quantum field ...

The Northwestern CS Theory Group and Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago co-hosted the Junior Theorists Workshop held Dec. 8-9 The Junior Theorists Workshop, held Dec. 8-9, was more than just a ...

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...

Abstract: The knowledge about variable interactions is frequently employed in state-of-the-art research concerning genetic algorithms (GAs). Whether these interactions are known a priori (gray-box ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in ...

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 ...

From powering search engines to securing data and optimizing networks, algorithms underpin nearly every aspect of modern technology. Understanding how efficiently they can solve problems — and where ...
