Combinatorial optimisation for knapsack problems addresses the challenge of selecting discrete items to maximise value under capacity constraints. Such problems are central to resource allocation, ...

Yet an AI detector that is mostly reliable might in some ways be more dangerous than a broken one. While Pangram is accumulating the power to end reputations and careers, the tool does make mistakes, ...

Personalized algorithms may quietly sabotage how people learn, nudging them into narrow tunnels of information even when they start with zero prior knowledge. In the study, participants using ...

Bio-inspired optimisation algorithms draw upon mechanisms observed in nature to address complex global optimisation tasks. These methods harness principles such as genetic evolution, swarm ...

Then it’s kind of a mystery to try to figure out why and how they’re related.” The Riemann hypothesis has proved to be a font ...

OpenAI has revealed a breakthrough proof that overturns a nearly 80-year-old geometry conjecture posed by Paul Erdős.

Liam Price just cracked a 60-year-old problem that world-class mathematicians have tried and failed to solve. He’s 23 years old and has no advanced mathematics training. What he does have is a ChatGPT ...

This article is part of Examined World, a contemplative series exploring what the sciences reveal about us. Our debates and discussions on technology are currently dominated by artificial intelligence ...

Over the last several years, Apple has dramatically improved how it handles lithium-ion battery charging in iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches. Across multiple system releases, the company moved ...

Scientists have long known that the DNA code in genes is not the only way to pass genetic traits from parents to offspring. "Epigenetic" marks—chemical modifications to DNA that don't change the DNA ...
