Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. One July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling ...

MicroAlgo Inc. announced its research on the Quantum Information Recursive Optimization (QIRO) algorithm, which aims to address complex combinatorial optimization problems using quantum computing.

Real-world statistical systems are often complex, and efficiently detecting minor anomalies can be the key to avoiding catastrophe. For example, small timescale changes in the current and voltage ...

RXRX's CDK7 inhibitor REC-617 has demonstrated activity but additional data from the ELUCIDATE trial in various solid tumors isn't expected until H2'25. Near-term catalysts include phase 2 TUPELO ...

This Java program defines two functions, howSum and improvedHowSum, to find a combination of numbers that add up to a given target sum, using a simple recursive approach and a more efficient recursive ...
