Quantum computing future explained through cryptography, optimization, and AI breakthroughs showing how quantum computing ...

Isolating the first spark of life on Earth is a matter of biology, geology, and chemistry—but it's also an amazing math ...

With 12 colour receptors, the mantis shrimp seems visually unmatched. But studies reveal that their visual system likely ...

The future of finance increasingly is being shaped by data, algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI). And the people ...

An exclusive conversation with OpenAI’s chief scientist, Jakub Pachocki, about his firm's new grand challenge and the future of AI. OpenAI is refocusing its research efforts and throwing its resources ...

Accurately predicting how a system responds to sudden changes is a major challenge across fields like climate science, finance, and epidemiology. Now, a team of researchers has developed a powerful ...

To the naked eye, Annie Kathuria’s experiments look a bit like tiny tufts of cotton floating in pink Petri dishes. These unassuming orbs are clusters of millions of human brain cells called brain ...

AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we can't verify them. How will we know if they're right? When you purchase ...

When my cofounder and I were accepted into a competitive startup accelerator program in fall 2025, we applied with an ambitious idea: to build an “AI scientist” for machine learning research. What ...

Order doesn’t always form perfectly—and those imperfections can be surprisingly powerful. In materials like liquid crystals, tiny “defects” emerge when symmetry breaks, shaping everything from cosmic ...

A few months ago, I awoke to find a streak spanning the length of my kitchen wall that looked like it had been drawn there with thick black crayon. This was confounding, given that I live alone, save ...

A new AI developed at Duke University can uncover simple, readable rules behind extremely complex systems. It studies how systems evolve over time and reduces thousands of variables into compact ...
