Often, when there’s talk about algorithms and journalism, the focus is on how to use algorithms to help publishers share content better and make more money. There’s the unending debate, for example, ...

Building a chemical plant. Developing an airline route. Modeling the shapes of proteins. Each of these actions requires optimization algorithms – the combination of math and theory translated into ...

Engineers and scientists have long been trying to use cells to manufacture molecules that humans need, like biofuel or medicine. Am algorithm created by a computer scientist aims to improve on that ...

Penn researchers have developed a universal algorithm that allows 2D materials to retain mechanical strength after conversion into 3D structures. The team’s work takes inspiration from kirigami, an ...

Most computer algorithms today are developed in high-level languages on general-purpose computers. But someday they may be deployed in embedded systems where the development, verification, and ...

Much of our reams of data sit in large databases of unstructured text. Finding insights among emails, text documents, and websites is extremely difficult unless we can search, characterize, and ...

When X's engineering team published the code that powers the platform's "for you" algorithm last month, Elon Musk said the move was a victory for transparency. "We know the algorithm is dumb and needs ...
