One seismometer is often not enough to reliably detect earthquakes or human activity such as underground nuclear tests.

Most prosthetic hands today still struggle with a fundamental problem: No two amputees are the same, yet most devices are designed as if they are. That mismatch makes natural, intuitive control ...

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

A team of engineers at Rice University and Kyung Hee University has developed a soft, shape-shifting mechanical surface that ...

For a child diagnosed with neuroblastoma-the most common infant cancer, occurring when early nerve cells grow out of control-the path to treatment isn't simple.

Spending the bulk of my adult life as a minister and pastor of churches, one Sunday I always somewhat feared was Father’s Day ...

AMD and Intel have now published a full technical specification for ACE — AI Compute Extensions — the most significant overhaul to x86 AI compute in the architecture's history, co-authored by eight ...

Tensordyne says logarithmic computing could reduce AI inference costs and power demands, offering an alternative to conventional chip designs.

Think about placing dots on a flat surface. You want as many pairs as possible to be separated by the same distance. For any amount of dots, what is the greatest possible number of pairs that can be ...

Summary: A highly unconventional scientific alliance has launched a research program to mathematically decode the human psychedelic experience. Detailed in a newly released scientific preprint, the ...

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal model—and what that could mean for mathematics. Reading time 10 minutes Will ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...
