Remember seeing your triglyceride levels in your lab report? Ah! Fats you may dismiss, thinking of the next gym work you need to head to. Fatty acids are broken down via a process called β-oxidation.

Build a low-power smart sensor system with a tailored board, MOSFET switching, and ESP32 deep sleep, giving up to 1.7 years usage between charges ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at UC Berkeley, George Dantzig—a first-year graduate student—copied two problems ...

The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get any better. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at the ...

Introduction: The Portfolio Optimization Process Needs to Be Revamped. For decades, portfolio optimization has been the pinnacle of modern finance. In the 1950s, with the introduction of Harry ...

A line of engineering research seeks to develop computers that can tackle a class of challenges called combinatorial optimization problems. These are common in real-world applications such as ...

What if the toughest problems humanity faces—those that stump our brightest minds and stretch the limits of human ingenuity—could be tackled by a single, purpose-built system? Enter Gemini Deep Think, ...

Abstract: Recently, neural combinatorial optimization (NCO) methods have been prevailing for solving multiobjective combinatorial optimization problems (MOCOPs). Most NCO methods are based on the ...

We present OPT-BENCH, a benchmark comprising 20 machine learning tasks and 10 NP problems, specifically designed to assess large language models’ (LLMs) ability to solve problems with large search ...
