Researchers say a new study proves that insects can solve problems spontaneously, a cognitive ability usually associated with ...

Contrary to their name, bumblebees are no bumbling oafs. A new study published in Science on Thursday found that these bees ...

Researchers developed a machine-learning-guided technique to solve complex, long-horizon planning problems more efficiently than some traditional approaches, while arriving at an optimal solution that ...

Modeling how cars deform in a crash, how spacecraft responds to extreme environments, or how bridges resist stress could be made thousands of times faster thanks to new artificial intelligence that ...

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 ...

A framework based on advanced AI techniques can solve complex, computationally intensive problems faster and in a more more scalable way than state-of-the-art methods, according to a new study. A ...

What if the secret to solving the world’s most complex problems wasn’t about thinking bigger, but thinking smaller, breaking things down to their most basic truths? This is the power of first ...
