The artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure revolution has made an unlikely discipline suddenly relevant: thermodynamics. My perspective draws on a mechanical engineering background in advanced ...

Every so often, someone creates or changes a programming language. In the process, these language creators make a number of design choices. They may wonder whether to check certain conditions at ...

Let’s take a look at how various mathematicians over the ages have dealt with the idea that quantities have ‘dimensions’, in the sense of dimensional analysis. People thought about this for centuries.

With its bright colors, easy-to-learn rules and familiar music, the video game Tetris has endured as a pop culture icon over the last 40 years. Many people, like me, have been playing the game for ...

We review encoding and hardware-independent formulations of optimization problems for quantum computing. Using this generalized approach, an extensive library of optimization problems from the ...

If you’ve gone to a movie theater recently, it was probably for a reunion of sorts. The familiar faces of Ant-Man, Adonis Creed, and John Wick have been some of the biggest box office draws so far ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...

Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINN) are neural networks encoding the problem governing equations, such as Partial Differential Equations (PDE), as a part of the neural network. PINNs have emerged ...
