The sunlight-collecting organelles known as chloroplasts solve a packing problem: how to optimize photosynthesis without ...

As an undergraduate at the University of Chile, Bernardo Subercaseaux took a dim view of using computers to do math. It seemed antithetical to real intellectual discovery. “There’s some instinct or ...

Artificial intelligence has formally verified the prizewinning proof that solved the sphere packing problem in eight dimensions, a result closely tied to Maryna Viazovska’s Fields Medal. The ...

MIT researchers utilize a diffusion model, a type of generative AI, to efficiently tackle the robot packing problem, considering multiple constraints simultaneously. The new method, Diffusion-CCSP, ...
