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

In the mid-noughties, when music by the Killers and Franz Ferdinand blared out of every pub and nightclub I passed, I spent my days and nights struggling through a Ph. D.

There is a kind of arithmetic that does not show up on any sticker but quietly determines whether a used-car purchase turns ...

AI crypto security tools are slashing audit costs and catching vulnerabilities faster than ever in 2026. Here's how this ...

Get your timer out and see whether you can remember the golden rule from grade school math class.

This is an example of an exponential graph in the form \(y = k^x\). Graphs in the form of \(y = k^x\) increase in value.

By taking general relativity into higher dimensions, a trio of physicists has proven that a mathematical pattern of ripples in space-time geometry could give rise to naked singularities and ...

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.

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 ...

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

A team of UCLA computer scientists and mathematicians has been awarded a three-year, $5 million grant by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to develop artificial intelligence tools aimed at ...

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 ...
