The United States is producing nurse practitioner graduates faster than the clinical training infrastructure can absorb them. NP programs have seen enrollment c ...

A new quantum-inspired algorithm has cracked a problem so massive that conventional supercomputers struggle to even approach it. Researchers used the method to simulate extraordinarily complex quantum ...

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 ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

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 ...

Abstract: The problem of determining the location of the hospital's department to minimize the total distance traveled by patients can be formulated as a Quadratic assignment problem (QAP), one of the ...

The famously chaotic three-body problem, which describes how three masses gravitationally interact, has puzzled physicists for centuries. Now, new research suggests it's not quite as chaotic as ...
