Algorithm to determine the sentence can reduce the length of prison sentences

US prisons currently hold about 2 million detainees - many of them held while awaiting trial, and others serving extremely long prison sentences. New research by Professor Christopher Slobogin, Milton R. Underwood Chair in Law at Vanderbilt Law School, indicates that a risk prediction algorithm can help dramatically reduce these numbers.According to the professor,...

A New Algorithm Can Help Improve the Design of Cell Phone Materials

Four robust micro-structure topologies of extreme metamaterials emerged from the proposed framework. Credit: Swansea UniversityNew research published in Scientific Reports has revealed that a simple but robust new algorithm can help engineers improve the design of cellular materials used in a variety of applications, from defense, biomedical to intelligent structures, and the aerospace sector.Specialized...
