Tensor networks enable researchers to tackle quantum physics problems previously thought to be solvable only by quantum computers. Credit: Lucy Reading-Ikkanda/Simons Foundation By applying a 1980s ...

Abstract: Robust multiobjective optimization problems (RMOPs) widely exist in real-world applications, which introduce a variety of uncertainty in optimization models. While some evolutionary ...

Abstract: The work deals with the NP-hard problem of scheduling tasks on two machines with the sum-cost criterion. In this problem, each task must be performed sequentially on the first and then on ...

For new discoveries, everyday mysteries, and the science behind the headlines, follow NPR's ShortWave podcast . Over a century ago, the German psychologist Wolfgang Köhler conducted what became a ...

Over five decades after a famed physicist scribbled down a mathematical solution to a common decision-making problem, researchers have finally deciphered his handwritten notes. The newly-decoded work ...

Bumblebees faced with a challenge know how to play ball. Buff-tailed bumblebees can figure out on their own how to use a ball as a ladder to nab sugar from an out-of-reach fake flower, researchers ...

Despite having tiny brains, bumblebees have demonstrated a remarkable ability to socially learn how to use tools, solve simple puzzles, and cooperate to achieve a goal. It seems they can also solve ...

In a new study, bumble bees solve a completely novel object-manipulation task. What makes this behavior especially remarkable is that the bees had never been trained. The findings challenge the ...

German psychologist Wolfgang Köhler set up a famous experiment more than 100 years ago that changed how scientists understand animal intelligence and the power of insight — or spontaneous ...
