It’s proven that today’s encryption is vulnerable to attack by a sufficiently mature quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm - a catastrophic event commonly known as Q-Day. Even before such a ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of all living cells and have been exploited for use in many applications, including therapeutics and industrial catalysts. To overcome the limitations of naturally ...

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 ...

Developing longer-lasting, more-efficient electrolytes better than those engineered more than three decades ago has been difficult. Electrolytes enable the batteries in everything from your cell phone ...

Machine learning algorithms assist in protein engineering by reducing the experimental burden of methods such as directed evolution, which involves multiple rounds of mutagenesis and high-throughput ...

An algorithm inspired by the way that a species of beetle changes colour to communicate with its peers and predators solves engineering problems faster than a range of previous approaches. The golden ...

A large share of donated kidneys are unused due to inefficiencies in the allocation and acceptance process rather than medical unsuitability. Researchers developed a data-driven adaptive algorithm ...
