Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

For most people the answer involves finding the nearest calculator. For 11-year-old Ethan Brown of Bethel, however, the answer -- 974,169 -- takes just a few seconds of mental effort. Ethan learned ...

The team has improved the capabilities of physics-informed neural networks (PINNs), a type of artificial intelligence that incorporates physical laws into the learning process. Researchers from the ...

A team of engineers has proven that their analog computing device, called a memristor, can complete complex, scientific computing tasks while bypassing the limitations of digital computing. A team of ...

According to computational complexity theory, mathematical problems have different levels of difficulty in the context of their solvability. While a classical computer can solve some problems (P) in ...

Guesstimation 2.0 Solving Today’s Problems on the Back of a Napkin succeeds where most popular science literature so often fails. This is because it provides its readers with a scientific tool they ...

Trigonometric identities might seem like abstract mathematical concepts, but they're actually powerful problem-solving tools that can transform seemingly impossible equations into manageable solutions ...

In this nearly all-digital age, analog systems are a vanishing breed. Certain cars still have analog dashboards. A lot of people prefer analog clock faces to something that looks like the timer on a ...

You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...
