One defining characteristic of twenty-first century engineering challenges is the breadth of their scope. The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) has identified 14 “game-changing goals” 1. At first ...

With AlphaTensor, DeepMind Technologies has presented an AI system that is supposed to independently find novel, efficient and provably correct algorithms for complex mathematical tasks. AlphaTensor ...

Graphene stands as the ultimate atomically thin two-dimensional material, consisting of a single atomic layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice 1. As the archetypal 2D material ...

Mathematicians love a good puzzle. Even something as abstract as multiplying matrices (two-dimensional tables of numbers) can feel like a game when you try to find the most efficient way to do it.

Dan Fleisch briefly explains some vector and tensor concepts from A Student’s Guide to Vectors and Tensors. In the field of machine learning, tensors are used as representations for many applications, ...
