Circle detection algorithms form a fundamental pillar in computer vision, enabling the identification of circular features across a wide range of applications from automated industrial inspection to ...

If you’ve been making the same commute for a long time, you’ve probably settled on what seems like the best route. But “best” is a slippery concept. Perhaps one day there’s an accident or road closure ...

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs for ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

A quantum version of a computer algorithm widely used in finance, engineering and scientific modelling shows promising signs of operating much faster than existing methods. Experts say there are many ...

IBM and HSBC used a quantum system to improve a complex process.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. One July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling ...

Researchers at FIU’s College of Engineering and Computing have developed an encryption algorithm to defend videos from attackers with access to the world's most powerful computers. The encryption ...

A novel computer-based algorithm can track the progress of hair loss in patients with various types of alopecia, according to a study. “Hair loss impacts so many people,” Elena Bernardis, PhD, of the ...

Two former Google DeepMind researchers who worked on the company’s Nobel Prize-winning AlphaFold protein structure prediction AI as well as its AlphaEvolve code generation system have launched a new ...
