Genome editing lets scientists rewrite DNA, the instruction manual inside every living cell, with a precision that was unthinkable a generation ago. Technologies such as CRISPR have made this almost ...

Abstract: This article presents a novel knowledge-based genetic algorithm (GA) to generate a collision-free path in complex environments. The proposed algorithm infuses specific domain knowledge into ...

Abstract: This study proposes a capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) approach to optimise Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) and pesticides spraying. The VRP consists of finding the route which ...

It’s hard to ignore the seismic shifts brought about by algorithm-driven content. Every time you scroll through your social media feed or check your favorite news app, algorithms are diligently at ...

Yet another package for lightweight applications of GA in Python. This package provides utilities for implementation of Genetic Algorithm (Holland 1962) for multivariate, multimodal optimization ...

UNSW researchers have developed a thermal-aware tracking algorithm that reduces solar module temperatures and UV exposure during inverter clipping and curtailment, slowing degradation without lowering ...

Rice tiller angle is an important trait affecting population structure, light utilization, planting density, and yield potential. Although several genes affecting tiller angle have been reported, the ...

This article was co-authored with Emma Myer, a student at Washington and Lee University who studies Cognitive/Behavioral Science and Strategic Communication. In today’s digital age, social media has ...

The National Institutes of Health failed to protect brain scans that an international group of fringe researchers used to argue for the intellectual superiority of white people. Credit...Ben Denzer ...

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 ...
