Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

What are you trying to do? I have a setup with 3 machines in my Tailscale network: Server1 → acts as an exit node, has a public IPv4, and direct connections to both nodes. Node1 → behind CGNAT, but ...

The reliable engineering of quantum states, particularly those involving several particles, is central to the development of various quantum technologies, including quantum computers, sensors and ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

The original It girl has a new crop. Chloë Sevigny debuted a shaggy pixie cut in an auburn color in the After the Hunt trailer. The actress looks nearly unrecognizable, as her signature look includes ...

It's a phenomenon that has left scientists baffled, but the Earth's rotation is spinning unusually fast and Wednesday may be the shortest day ever on record. The shortest day of the year could fall ...
