Chromosomal inversions are common in natural populations and are believed to be involved in many important evolutionary phenomena, including speciation, the evolution of sex chromosomes and local ...

Computer scientists have developed a completely new kind of algorithm, one that exponentially speeds up computation by dramatically reducing the number of parallel steps required to reach a solution.

What if a large class of algorithms used today -- from the algorithms that help us avoid traffic to the algorithms that identify new drug molecules -- worked exponentially faster? Computer scientists ...
