They now have a complete understanding of the complicated equations that model the motion of free boundaries, like the one between ice and water. ..
A new model of learning centers on blasts of neural activity that act as teaching signals—approximating an algorithm called backpropagation. ..
Built upon the ubiquitous Fourier transform, these mathematical tools allow unprecedented analysis of continuous signals. ..
The unexpected discovery of the double-charm tetraquark gives physicists fresh insight into the strongest of nature’s fundamental forces. ..
Deep in the mantle, a branching plume of intensely hot material appears to be the engine powering vast volcanic activity. ..
The n-queens problem is about finding how many different ways queens can be placed on a chessboard so that none attack each other. ..
Genomes hold immense quantities of noncoding DNA. Some of it is essential for life, some seems useless, and some has its own agenda. ..
The concept of a dimension seems simple enough, but mathematicians struggled for centuries to precisely define and understand it. ..
Scientists taught an artificial neural network to imitate a biological neuron. The result offers a new way to think about the complexity of brain cells. ..
