As a result, researchers are exploring ways to embed better logic into AI. The goal isn’t so much to make LLMs smarter; it’s ...

These short anomaly-detection puzzles are designed to illustrate how reasoning often depends on identifying inconsistencies ...

Scientists have long known that the DNA code in genes is not the only way to pass genetic traits from parents to offspring. "Epigenetic" marks—chemical modifications to DNA that don't change the DNA ...

Last month, OpenAI announced that its latest version of ChatGPT had solved a major math problem, one that had stumped experts ...

The major veins of Chinese money plant leaves form what's called a Voronoi diagram. It might be caused by a plant-growth ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have uncovered a hidden mathematical secret inside the leaves of the Chinese money plant: a naturally occurring geometric pattern known as a Voronoi diagram, something typically associated ...
