Computer scientists have discovered a new way to multiply large matrices faster than ever before by eliminating a previously unknown inefficiency, reports Quanta Magazine. This could eventually ...

Mathematicians love a good puzzle. Even something as abstract as multiplying matrices (two-dimensional tables of numbers) can feel like a game when you try to find the most efficient way to do it.

Photonic structures that can perform mathematical operations and solve equations are becoming increasingly popular due to the resurgence of optical analogue computing with the promise of low-power, ...
