Abstract: The growing demand for real-time location services requires a solution to seamlessly bridge the navigation gap between autonomous vehicles (AVs) and indoor destinations, particularly for ...

Personalized algorithms may quietly sabotage how people learn, nudging them into narrow tunnels of information even when they start with zero prior knowledge. In the study, participants using ...

Algo Arena makes abstract computer science concepts visceral and intuitive. Pick two sorting algorithms, hit Start, and watch them race on identical data — suddenly you feel why O(n log n) beats O(n²) ...

Building a utility-scale quantum computer that can crack one of the most vital cryptosystems—elliptic curves—doesn’t require nearly the resources anticipated just a year or two ago, two independently ...

This grid-based representation is essentially a graph structure. Each walkable cell is a node, and it connects to its four immediate neighbors (up, down, left, right). This is the same underlying data ...

A new study published today in Nature has found that X’s algorithm – the hidden system or “recipe” that governs which posts appear in your feed and in which order – shifts users’ political opinions in ...

In this section, we provide an overview of existing works aimed at reducing the time cost of MAPF methods. MAPF methods typically involve searching for paths connecting the starting and target ...

As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one maverick bioengineer is testing how much unprogrammed intelligence may already be lurking in our simplest algorithms to determine whether ...

Researchers at the University of Kent, UK, introduced LiteRBS (Lightweight and Rapid Bidirectional Search), a novel grid-based pathfinding algorithm designed for efficient and scalable navigation in ...

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 tech giant ByteDance finalized its agreement to sell a majority stake in its video platform TikTok to a group of U.S. investors. TikTok announced on Jan. 22, 2026, that it has formed TikTok ...
