Information and gravity may seem like completely different things, but one thing they have in common is that they can both be described in the framework of geometry. Building on this connection, a new paper suggests that ...
(Phys.org)—By analyzing the statistical features of thousands of go games played by humans and computers, researchers have found that it's surprisingly easy to tell whether a game is being played by a human or by a computer. ...
(Phys.org)—For the first time, scientists have determined the equation of state of an infinite chain of hydrogen atoms, which tells the amount of energy each hydrogen atom has, given the bond length between adjacent atoms.
Finding a single optimal route is easy, but optimizing the combination of multiple routes is a challenge found in a wide range of applications including Internet instant messaging, peer-to-peer networks, subway traffic, airport ...
At the intersection of chemistry and computation, researchers from the University of Glasgow have developed a hybrid digital-chemical probabilistic computational system based on the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction which ...
Quantum computers, systems that perform computations by exploiting quantum mechanics phenomena, could help to efficiently tackle several complex tasks, including so-called combinatorial optimization problems. These are problems ...
In human chromosomes, DNA is coated by proteins to form an exceedingly long beaded string. This "string" is folded into numerous loops, which are believed to help cells control gene expression and facilitate DNA repair, among ...
