Genetic algorithms (GAs) have emerged as a powerful optimisation tool in product design and user-centred engineering, drawing inspiration from the principles of biological evolution. They use ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Some Earth-orbiting satellites will be able to keep in touch longer with controllers on the planet’s surface thanks to computer programs that mimic Darwin’s evolutionary model ...

Timber is becoming increasingly popular as the most sustainable construction material. But structural timber design is not easy. Currently, floor framing designers produce many possible designs before ...

Programmer Joel Simon has created an experimental research project, Evolving Floor Plans, to explore speculative and optimized plan layouts using generative design. Interested in the intersection of ...

The conclusion comes from two linked projects at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee Knoxville: One proves printed aluminium can at least equal and sometimes better the ...

Proteogenomics explores how genetic information translates into protein expression and function, and the role of changes across DNA, RNA, and proteins in influencing disease development and ...

Experts say ABC represents a major step forward in bio-inspired computing. By replicating the collective intelligence and adaptive strategies of honey bees, the algorithm provides a flexible, ...
