The World Health Organization reports that as of January 19, 2021, there are approximately 94 million cases of COVID-19 globally, with over 2 million deaths….
Simulations highlight potential value of developing ways to reduce how long someone is contagious. A new computational analysis suggests that a vaccine or medication that…
NYU Tandon researcher devises a mathematical system for identifying influences between geographic phenomena that makes small data sets as effective as big data in identifying…
In lab experiments, pralatrexate outperforms remdesivir against SARS-CoV-2. A novel computational drug screening strategy combined with lab experiments suggest that pralatrexate, a chemotherapy medication originally…
Researchers show that deep reinforcement learning can be used to design more efficient nuclear reactors. Nuclear energy provides more carbon-free electricity in the United States…
A smart thermostat quickly learns to optimize building microclimates for both energy consumption and user preference. Buildings account for about 40 percent of U.S. energy…
Optimized quantum algorithms present solution to Fermi-Hubbard model on near-term hardware. Researchers from the University of Bristol and quantum start-up, Phasecraft, have advanced quantum computing…
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have now shown that they can solve a small part of a real logistics problem with their small,…
A research team from RUDN University developed an algorithm to help large groups of people make optimal decisions in a short time. They confirmed the…
A mathematical model that can help project the contagiousness and spread of infectious diseases like the seasonal flu may not be the best way to…
At some point in life, most people have stood over a rolled-out slab of cookie dough and pondered just how to best cut out cookies…
Researchers develop algorithms to enable drones to quickly switch between hover and forward flight. When an aircraft veers upwards too much, the decrease in lift…
Drawing the Line to Answer Art’s Big Questions Algorithms have shown that the compositional structure of Western landscape paintings changed “suspiciously” smoothly between 1500 and…
A simulation shows reducing population density in large cities decreases disease spread. Pandemics are fueled, in part, by dense populations in large cities where networks…
Researchers led by City College of New York physicist Pouyan Ghaemi report the development of a quantum algorithm with the potential to study a class…
A study of how 98 million Americans move around each day suggests that most infections occur at “superspreader” sites, and details how mobility patterns help…
Letting an algorithm decide which maintenance holes to test for evidence of coronavirus could improve pandemic containment efforts. Covid-19 is a respiratory illness that spreads…
