From labor shortages and healthcare gaps to misinformation and data security risks, there are areas where technology could ...

A solution to P vs NP could unlock countless computational problems—or keep them forever out of reach.

Computer scientists contemplate whether the time required to compute a solution is out of reach for the hardest problems. The question of Does P = NP? is now treated as a multi-prompt session with ...

His solution to the problem can be of use in epidemiology and computer science, and potentially in other fields as well. A common feature for these fields is the presence of systems where the ...

In fact, this problem contains enough structure that computer scientists have developed a fast procedure (or algorithm) for it that bypasses the need for an exhaustive search.

combinatorics Hypergraphs Reveal Solution to 50-Year-Old Problem In 1973, Paul Erdős asked if it was possible to assemble sets of “triples” — three points on a graph — so that they abide by two ...

Grid of atoms is both a quantum computer and an optimization solver The optimization mode requires quantum effects, can solve a growing list of problems.

Computer gamers solve problem in AIDS research that puzzled scientists for years Foldit protein structure game empowers gamers to tackle complex scientific challenges, leading to breakthroughs in AIDS ...

Prior to this paper, the only known PLS int PPAD-complete problem was a rather artificial construction — a problem sometimes called “Either-Solution.” This problem glued together a complete problem ...

Stellantis is recalling about 207,000 Jeep and Dodge SUVs to fix a computer problem that can disable the anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control safety features.
