Lehman and Stanley have a name for what trapped the goal-seeking robots: deception. A problem is deceptive when the path to ...

Running a booming lemon stand in Sell Lemons is a great way to make cash, but what hides beneath the surface? Drop down the manhole to discover a secret sewer maze filled with levers, twists, and dead ...

A new quantum-inspired algorithm has cracked a problem so massive that conventional supercomputers struggle to even approach it. Researchers used the method to simulate extraordinarily complex quantum ...

Cats are curious, observant, and surprisingly clever when it comes to navigating their surroundings. Many feline parents have seen their pets figure out how to open doors, reach hidden treats, or ...

If Google’s AI researchers had a sense of humor, they would have called TurboQuant, the new, ultra-efficient AI memory compression algorithm announced Tuesday, “Pied Piper” — or, at least that’s what ...

After 30 months of fast-paced innovation in quantum algorithms, six research groups are hoping to hit paydirt. But there can be only one big winner—if there is a winner at all. I’m standing in front ...

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 ...

The study, conducted by Brookhaven theoretical physicist Weiguo Yin and described in a recent paper published in Physical Review B, is the first paper emerging from the "AI Jam Session" earlier this ...
