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 ...

Algorithms are everywhere, even when we do not notice them. They help us search the web, navigate roads, and discover new content online. Understanding how algorithms work is one of the simplest ways ...

Kharizmi helped solidify the concept of algorithms in mathematics and popularized algebra and the use of the zero.

Think about placing dots on a flat surface. You want as many pairs as possible to be separated by the same distance. For any amount of dots, what is the greatest possible number of pairs that can be ...

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 ...

A century ago, a psychologist named Wolfgang Köhler proved that chimpanzees could solve complex problems. He hung a banana high out of reach. The chimps sat, thought, and suddenly stacked wooden boxes ...

Bumblebees are the brainboxes of the insect world, suggests new research. The garden pollinators are able to solve puzzles spontaneously — despite having tiny brains, scientists say. Bumblebees were ...

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 ...

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 ...
