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

A pixel either controls or analyzes, but not at the same time. Researchers from ETH Zurich in Switzerland, however, managed to create a new type of pixel that can simultaneously do both. This ...

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 ...

The planar Hall effect is a tabletop diagnostic tool for special quantum properties useful in basic research and technological applications. Or so it was thought, because careful calculation by Kobe ...

There are several weird aspects to the "Anti-Weaponization Fund" established by President Donald Trump's settlement of his lawsuit against the IRS. Perhaps most puzzling of all, the amount of taxpayer ...

The Chinese money plant, commonly seen in homes and offices as a simple ornamental houseplant, is now drawing serious scientific attention. What looks like ordinary greenery may actually be hiding an ...

Termite mounds are remarkable structures that regulate temperature, balance airflow and maintain structural stability in some of Earth’s harshest climates. And like other irregular, disordered systems ...

Penn Engineers have developed a new way to use AI to solve inverse partial differential equations (PDEs), a particularly challenging class of mathematical problems with broad implications for ...

I have been thinking about a question that nobody in enterprise software seems to want to sit with: why can the most advanced AI models in the world solve Olympiad-level mathematics but fail to ...
