Neurons are constantly performing complex calculations to process sensory information and infer the state of the environment. For example, to localize a sound or to recognize the direction of visual ...

A great challenge in modern science is the realization of clean, cheap and renewable energy sources, and the conversion of solar energy into electric current with high efficiency is one of the most ...

Computer scientists are a demanding bunch. For them, it’s not enough to get the right answer to a problem — the goal, almost always, is to get the answer as efficiently as possible. Take the act of ...

Computer scientists have discovered a new way to multiply large matrices faster by eliminating a previously unknown inefficiency, leading to the largest improvement in matrix multiplication efficiency ...

IF electrons move through a gas in an electric field, their number can increase if they ionize gas molecules by collision—the well-known Townsend avalanche. Recently, it has been shown 1 that in ...

Computer scientists have discovered a new way to multiply large matrices faster than ever before by eliminating a previously unknown inefficiency, reports Quanta Magazine. This could eventually ...
