A new reinforcement-learning algorithm has learned to optimize the placement of components on a computer chip to make it more efficient and less power-hungry. 3D Tetris: Chip placement, also known ...

11-20-2018 DESIGN This is the most complex generative design ever made Autodesk worked with NASA to create a space lander prototype that can withstand the temperatures and pressures of outer space.

Algorithms can have practical applications like increasing efficiency by automating small, repeating details. It can allow graphic design elements to respond to external inputs like sound and motion.
