Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about fitness, health and wearable tech Algorithms have taken on an almost mythical significance in the modern world. They ...

Researchers developed an algorithm that can align two 3D shapes by mapping their volumes, which is more effective than other methods that align shapes by only mapping their surfaces. In computer ...

Jory Denny is a member of two professional societies: the Association of Computing Machinery and IEEE. He is associated with Waymo LLC. The world of computing is full of buzzwords: AI, supercomputers, ...

"For nearly 100 years, scientists have been trying to name cells. They have been describing them in the same way that Darwin described animals and trees. Now the Blue Brain Project has developed a ...

In this, the algorithm alters the shape of the object slightly, so it spins along the desired axis. Finally, if neither of the above processes does the job or the shape can’t be altered, the algorithm ...

A new algorithm generates practical paper-folding patterns to produce any 3-D structure. In a 1999 paper, Erik Demaine -- now an MIT professor of electrical engineering and computer science, but then ...
