Understanding "who eats whom" is the key to keeping our oceans alive—and our dinner plates full. However, this invisible network that makes up the food chain can unravel with the pull of just one ...

It took nearly 15 years, researchers around the world and enough computing power to search through a universe of possibilities to answer one question: Who goes first? Eric Harshbarger was at a gaming ...

OpenAI Group PBC revealed Saturday that an internal version of Astra, the model family it calls its next major release, produced new results for 10 problems in mathematics and theoretical computer ...

An Anthropic AI model, Claude Fable 5, helped disprove the 87-year-old Jacobian conjecture, a famous open problem in mathematics dating to 1939. The model produced a concrete counterexample that ...

Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians. What does that mean for their future? Credit...Illustrations by Yoshi ...

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 ...

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 ...

Richard Feynman described a decision-making problem and its solution in handwritten notes, but the meaning of the notes has been a mystery for almost 50 y. We decipher the problem and solution from ...
