  • Mon, 22 Jul 2024 19:51:21 +0000: There is mathematical proof in the pudding - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
    In blockchain development, there is a rule of thumb that only two of scalability, security, and decentralization are valid simultaneously. However, the mathematical expression of that rule was still a work in progress. Researchers discovered a mathematical expression for the blockchain trilemma. In the formula for Proof of Work-based blockchains, including Bitcoin, the product of the three terms--scalability, security, and decentralization--is 1.
  • Fri, 12 Jul 2024 16:41:08 +0000: Neural networks made of light - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
    Scientists propose a new way of implementing a neural network with an optical system which could make machine learning more sustainable in the future. In a new paper, the researchers have demonstrated a method much simpler than previous approaches.
  • Wed, 03 Jul 2024 17:17:55 +0000: Researchers develop predictive model for cross-border COVID spread - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
    Post-COVID research has extensively focused on the efficacy of internal travel restrictions and cross-border travel has received less attention due to challenges in accessing quality data. In a major multidisciplinary collaboration effort across Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, a group of researchers -- including mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists -- have published a pioneering study on the spread of infections across Nordic borders from spring until the end of 2020. The report sheds light on the efficacy of cross-border travel restrictions, helping us better understand which measures actually make a difference.
  • Thu, 20 Jun 2024 19:23:03 +0000: Can AI learn like us? - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
    Scientists have developed a new, more energy-efficient way for AI algorithms to process data. His model may become the basis for a new generation of AI that learns like we do. Notably, these findings may also lend support to neuroscience theories surrounding memory's role in learning.
  • Wed, 19 Jun 2024 18:36:16 +0000: A railroad of cells - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
    Looking under the microscope, a group of cells slowly moves forward in a line, like a train on the tracks. The cells navigate through complex environments. A new approach now shows how they do this and how they interact with each other.
