Constantly "re-rolling the dice", combining and selecting: "Evolutionary algorithms" mimic natural evolution in silico and lead to innovative solutions for complex problems. Constantly “re-rolling the ...

Evolutionary algorithms are an interesting topic of study. Rather then relying on human ingenuity and investigation to create new designs, instead, an algorithm is given a target to achieve, and ...

Penn researchers have developed a universal algorithm that allows 2D materials to retain mechanical strength after conversion into 3D structures. The team’s work takes inspiration from kirigami, an ...
