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 ...

Genetic algorithms can be used for the evolutionary design of satellites to make them more resistant to space-debris damage, say researchers. The algorithms would drive the choice of spacecraft ...

Researchers tested phononic nanomaterials designed with an automated genetic algorithm that responded to light pulses with controlled vibrations. This work may help in the development of ...

Immigration is generally considered an option in genetic algorithms, but I have found immigration to be extremely useful in almost all situations where I use evolutionary optimization. The idea of ...

The official opening of the Foster + Partners-designed Alibaba Shanghai Campus office building, rooted in the city's DNA of innovation and openness, redefines the traditional office environment. The ...

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 ...
