Companies spending tens of millions of dollars every single year on researching and developing new scents and aromas will soon be able to do so using computer algorithms, rather than humans. The issue here is that the human nose becomes “tired” after a while, which makes it unfeasible for prolonged use.

No wonder teachers have a hard time designing school timetables at the start of each year. The issue has been cataloged by scientists as an NP-hard problem, right next to other classic logistics puzzles, such as the traveling salesman, and the crystal packing problems. School management officials and teachers are not... |

While crickets, orangutans and whales indeed communicate differently, there is a common denominator between them, researchers say. A bird's chirp, a whale's clicks, and a primate's scream can be construed as different, but a new cross-species study has revealed that mathematical models can predict the ... |

As any person who has ever been on a rowboat can tell you, the most fierce opponent a crew can have is itself. Well, not exactly itself, but rather the algorithms it uses when it pulls on the paddles. At the University of Cambridge, rowing is taken very seriously, as evidenced by the fact that Professor John Barrow, ... |
