Unless you worked for Ford’s plastics, paint and vinyls division in the 1980s, you probably don’t know the name Jim Moylan. But you might well know the idea that made this unknown engineer who ...

The inventor of the arrow on a car's dashboard which indicates which side of the vehicle the fuel filler is located on has died at the age of 80. James Moylan came up with the inventive solution in ...

Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...

A 1966 example of the Ford GT40 MkII is heading to auction in January—and it’s not just any example of the already ultra-rare car, but the “most original” one. Eleven MkII GT40s were built, and just ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

With statistics clearly showing a decline in consumer interest in sports cars, especially in regions like North America, now is the perfect time to discuss alternatives that might save certain iconic ...

During the third quarter of the year, the Ford Motor Company maintained its third place in the US automotive market with a sales increase of 8.2 percent to 545,522 deliveries, of which at least ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

The multinational conglomerate Stellantis, with fourteen global automotive brands, controls the remnants of the venerable Chrysler Corporation. This includes Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram, all of ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images are already a common staple of battery research. Now, they can be paired with a simple algorithm to enable better prediction of lithium metal battery ...
