PhoSim simulates the atmosphere, including air turbulence, as well as distortions from the shape of the telescope’s mirrors and the electrical properties of the sensors. The photons are propagated ...

A puzzle that has long flummoxed computers and the scientists who program them has suddenly become far more manageable. A new algorithm efficiently solves the graph isomorphism problem, computer ...

Nature talked to one of the people behind these algorithm improvements, who was optimistic that they could eventually replicate all of D-Wave's results using non-quantum algorithms. D-Wave ...

Research teams from energy giant ExxonMobil and IBM have been working together to find quantum solutions to one of the most complex problems of our time: managing the tens of thousands of merchant ...

The problem with this discussion is that we can’t really answer the question of what role YouTube’s algorithm plays in radicalizing people because we don’t understand how it works. And this ...

The implications are stark: fairer algorithms won’t fix the problem. “It’s a really striking result,” says Ashesh Rambachan, who studies machine learning and economics at Harvard ...

What makes this problem even trickier is many of the AIs used to make those choices are black boxes—either they’re too complicated to easily understand, or they’re proprietary algorithms ...

Australia’s largest drinks and hotels business Endeavour Group has unveiled plans to use predictive algorithms and facial recognition to identify problem gamblers.

Astronomy has a major data problem – simulating realistic images of the sky can help train algorithms Published: June 23, 2025 8:38am EDT John Peterson , Purdue University ...
