This work presents an energy-efficient classical simulation algorithm using GPUs that outperforms Google's Sycamore processor in speed and energy consumption, challenging the claim of quantum computational advantage.
A new suggests the universe may rotate—just extremely slowly. The finding could help solve one of astronomy’s biggest puzzles.
MIT 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 better meets a user’s goals.
Scientists have designed a ‘cosmic radio’ detector which could discover dark matter in 15 years.
With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), predictive medicine is becoming an important part of healthcare, especially in cancer treatment. Predictive medicine uses algorithms and data to help doctors understand how a cancer might continue to grow or react to specific drugs—making it easier to target precision treatment for individual patients. Now, researchers at the Institute for Genome Sciences at the University of Maryland School of Medicine set a foundation in two commentaries out this week for going beyond AI to find the best treatments for patients, as well as ethically data sharing to promote reproducible science.
