Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

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 ...

On September 30, Tesla opened the Model Y Performance order books in the US, although deliveries would not start until December. However, the sporty crossover will be worth the wait, as Tesla ...

As the automotive industry shifts from internal combustion engines (ICE), powered by fossil fuel, to electric drivetrains, consumers must adapt their approach to ‘fueling’ their vehicles. In fact, ...

In today’s data-driven healthcare landscape, delivering higher quality outcomes increasingly depends on how seamlessly and securely health information flows — not just from providers to payers, but ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

Ran Duan, Jiayi Mao, Xiao Mao, Xinkai Shu, Longhui Yin (2025): Breaking the Sorting Barrier for Directed Single-Source Shortest Paths“. 57th Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing (STOC). Faster ...

Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) nowadays have been widely used in ocean observation missions, helping researchers to monitor climate change, collect environmental data, and observe marine ecosystem ...
