The mystery of the Moai stone heads has eluded onlookers for centuries — and now, researchers say they finally know how they got there. The statues, which were carved and placed on the South Pacific's ...

Differential equations are fundamental tools in physics: they are used to describe phenomena ranging from fluid dynamics to general relativity. But when these equations become stiff (i.e. they involve ...

Six years after Dulce Maria Alavez disappeared from a New Jersey park, new investigators are taking a fresh look at the unsolved case and using artificial intelligence to try to solve the mystery.

President Trump announced Monday on his social media site that he plans to "lead a movement" to get rid of mail-in ballots and voting machines in the country ahead of next year's midterm elections.

Dozens of machine learning algorithms require computing the inverse of a matrix. Computing a matrix inverse is conceptually easy, but implementation is one of the most challenging tasks in numerical ...

Dr. James McCaffrey from Microsoft Research presents a complete end-to-end demonstration of computing a matrix inverse using the Newton iteration algorithm. Compared to other algorithms, Newton ...
