Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have demonstrated a surprising new way to compute—by using heat instead of electricity. In a proof-of-concept study published in Physical Review ...

Engineers at MIT have turned one of computing’s biggest headaches, waste heat, into the main act. By sculpting “dust-sized” silicon structures that steer heat as precisely as electrical current, they ...

MIT researchers have designed silicon structures that can perform calculations in an electronic device using excess heat instead of electricity. These tiny structures could someday enable more ...

Multiplication in Python may seem simple at first—just use the * operator—but it actually covers far more than just numbers. You can use * to multiply integers and floats, repeat strings and lists, or ...

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 ...

Discovering faster algorithms for matrix multiplication remains a key pursuit in computer science and numerical linear algebra. Since the pioneering contributions of Strassen and Winograd in the late ...

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 ...
