The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Imagine a town with two widget merchants. Customers prefer cheaper widgets, so the merchants must compete to set the lowest price.

All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in general, research mathematicians don’t need to think about it ...

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 ...

Abstract: Network routing is a core functionality in computer networks that holds significant potential for integrating newly developed techniques with minimal software effort through the use of ...

ABSTRACT: The golden age of digital chips seems to be coming to an end. For decades, we have relied on making transistors smaller and increasing clock speeds to improve performance. However, when chip ...
