Rubik's cubes are great for fun, fast-paced problem solving, but they also have a rich mathematical structure involving ideas of symmetry and connectivity. A 3x3x3 Rubik’s cube has 43 quintillion ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

Chinese computer scientists have solved a 40-year-old mathematics bottleneck, an advance that might help boost performance in hi-tech areas ranging from chip design and telecommunications to drone ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

See how the critical path method (CPM) can be used for project management in our detailed guide. We’ll walk you through how to calculate it and share real-world examples for applying CPM to different ...

Evolution has led to natural algorithms that regulate collective behavior in many biological systems. Here, we investigate natural algorithms that solve the shortest path problem, a basic optimization ...

All chip designers know that they must take special care to avoid metastability problems when they have multiple, asynchronous clock domains. In contrast, a design in which all clocks are synchronous ...

This paper aims to optimize the “Parts to Picker” picking system with order sorting and AGV path planning as its priorities according to AGV-based “Parts to Picker” sorting mode and the order picking ...
