Optimization algorithms lie at the heart of modern engineering, enabling robust solutions across structures, energy systems, transportation networks and automated design. By framing engineering design ...

Building a chemical plant. Developing an airline route. Modeling the shapes of proteins. Each of these actions requires optimization algorithms – the combination of math and theory translated into ...

In the opening scene of a strangely serene YouTube video posted this week, colors slide, merge, and morph on screen. Set to an undulating Steve Reich score, the visuals seem appropriately loose and ...

Scientists have prototyped a new method for “rationally engineering” enzymes to deliver improved performance. They have devised an algorithm, which takes into account an enzyme’s evolutionary history, ...
