The traveling salesman problem (TSP) has challenged computer scientists for decades. Finding the shortest route that visits all cities exactly once sounds simple, but it becomes computationally explosive as the number of destinations grows. With applications spanning logistics, manufacturing, and network optimization, any breakthrough in solving TSP efficiently could transform entire industries.

In a one-week period at the beginning of June, Republican Nathan Simington and Democratic Commissioner Geoffrey Starks both resigned from the FCC. Trusty was previously a staffer for Sen. Roger

Neanderthals Spread Across Asia With Surprising Speed—and Now We Know How

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-09-21 06:00:29

Neanderthals and modern humans split from a common ancestor around 500,000 years ago, with Neanderthals leaving Africa for Europe and Asia long before modern humans joined them hundreds of thousands of years later. There, Neanderthals dispersed as far as Spain and Siberia. Our prehistoric cousins likely first reached Asia around 190,000 to 130,000 years ago, with another substantial migration to Central and Eastern Eurasia likely between 120,000 and 60,000 years ago.
