New software algorithms reduce the time and material needed to produce objects with 3-D printers. Here, the wheel on the left was produced with conventional software and the one on the right with the ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they'll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 46, No. 3 (2008), pp. 1423-1441 (19 pages) The Lloyd algorithm originated in the context of optimal quantization and represents a fixed point iteration for ...

Machine learning has returned with a vengeance. I still remember the dark days of the late '80s and '90s, when it was pretty clear that the current generation of machine-learning algorithms didn't ...

Pulmonary embolism is one of the leading causes of maternal death in the Western world. Because of the low specificity and sensitivity of the d-dimer test, all pregnant women with suspected pulmonary ...

Some things are easier to 3-D print than others. We know, for example, that we can 3-D print pierogi molds no problem. But engineers have been trying to crack the 3-D printed house for quite some time ...
