Perhaps the most beautiful aspect of mathematics is that it applies to literally everything, even things that do not exist in ...

Integer linear programming can help find the answer to a variety of real-world problems. Now researchers have found a much faster way to do it. Inspired by the results of a game-playing neural network ...

SP hybridization occurs when one s orbital and one p orbital from the same atom combine to form two new orbitals of equal energy. These new orbitals are linearly oriented 180 degrees apart, leading to ...

The problem is efficiency. Maxwell's equations are completely linear, so nonlinear optics relies entirely on materials with nonlinear response to optical fields. Unfortunately these responses deviate ...
