When checking that solutions to certain problems are correct, it turns out, you can’t get around the inherent complexity of ...

Many students appear to be completing assignments faster while learning less from them. This conclusion comes from one of the largest studies of how generative AI is changing student behavior and ...

For years, physicists were stuck in trying to explain an important mathematical problem in physics. The right approach ended ...

A group of young Irish mathematicians and physicists has developed a mathematical algorithm to optimise the redrawing of Dáil ...

A mathematical problem that had remained unsolved for more than 10 years in the physics of complex systems has finally been ...

When Andreas Albrecht was a grad student at the University of Pennsylvania, he was looking for an advisor in particle physics ...

There is a pattern emerging from recent work in pure mathematics that deserves more attention from financial technologists ...

Post-quantum cryptography is moving from a future security concern to a practical planning issue for organizations. Quantum computers powerful enough to break widely used public-key encryption aren’t ...

The tipping point came in the summer of 2025. That July, several artificial intelligence models solved five out of six problems at the International Mathematical Olympiad, an annual challenge for some ...

Even if you don’t know much about the inner workings of generative AI models, you probably know they need a lot of memory. Hence, it is currently almost impossible to buy a measly stick of RAM without ...

In March 2025, mathematician Daniel Litt made a bet. Despite the march of progress of artificial intelligence in many fields, he believed his subject was safe, wagering with a colleague that there was ...
