Two brothers in Singapore have built a data-encryption company on pure mathematics, betting that a problem no algorithm can ...

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.

Yang-Hui He is a fellow at the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences in London, UK. Among mathematicians and theoretical physicists, artificial intelligence provokes a range of reactions. Some ...

An OpenAI model disproved the 80-year-old Erdős unit distance conjecture, and Google DeepMind's AlphaProof Nexus solved nine more open problems days later. Together, these AI math breakthroughs mark a ...

Artificial intelligence can now solve open research-level mathematics problems — not just competition questions — and the May 2026 issue of Science News documents the moment the field registered that ...

OpenAI had generated plenty of buzz by coming up with a breakthrough for an 80-year-old Erdős problem, but Anthropic now says that it has also come up with a solution with its Mythos model. The unit ...

I have always enjoyed thinking about questions that have no answers. The double-slit experiment, Schrödinger's cat... when I let my thoughts wander to these quantum mechanical paradoxes and the ...

"I got a fraction when solving a continued ratio problem." This is a point where surprisingly many people get stuck. To conclude, while it is often considered incorrect to leave it as a fraction, your ...
