Every few years someone declares genetic algorithms dead. Neural nets killed them. Then reinforcement learning killed them again. Now it's LLMs and agentic systems. The obituary is wrong every time, ...

As oil and gas exploration expands to deep-sea, ultra-deep, and unconventional reservoirs, demands for nickel-based corrosion-resistant alloys' mechanical performance ...

Cardiovascular disease is the leading global cause of morbidity and mortality. New technologies are needed to improve mechanistic understanding and inform therapeutic strategies. Human-centric cardiac ...

Yet another package for lightweight applications of GA in Python. This package provides utilities for implementation of Genetic Algorithm (Holland 1962) for multivariate, multimodal optimization ...

Small variations in DNA sequence can alter an organism’s response to the environment or susceptibility to disease. Interpreting the impact of genome sequence variation remains a research challenge.

Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, when occurring together in a gene, can restore function—proving a decades-old ...

Physical fitness, physical activity and screen time are associated with brain mechanisms underlying mental health and learning, according to two recent studies from the University of Eastern Finland ...
