Scientists have long seen a puzzling pattern in tokamaks, the doughnut-shaped machines that could one day reliably generate electricity from fusing atoms. When plasma particles escape the core of the ...

Ford’s push to develop affordable EVs is also a fight against physics itself. Every bit of inefficiency caused by drag robs ...

Gabriel Gomes built an agent that turns plain English into physical experiments, enabling research that humans alone could never sustain ...

Mathematicians from the California Institute of Technology have solved an old problem related to a mathematical process called a random walk.

OpenAI’s unreleased model solved five of 10 unpublished research-level math problems and proposed a breakthrough physics formula, signaling a new era for AI in science.

A mathematical trick speeds up seismic calculations for earthquake simulations and could revolutionize earthquake preparedness.

Experts gave AI 10 math problems to solve in a week. OpenAI, researchers and amateurs all gave it their best shot ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

Amateur mathematicians are using artificial intelligence chatbots to solve long-standing problems, in a move that has taken professionals by surprise. While the problems in question aren’t the most ...

Over the weekend, Neel Somani, who is a software engineer, former quant researcher, and a startup founder, was testing the math skills of OpenAI’s new model when he made an unexpected discovery. After ...

Washington can barely keep the lights on between shutdown threats. Meanwhile, ordinary Americans are doing what Congress can’t: solving problems in their own communities. I learned this when I watched ...

Public conversations swing between extremes. At one end, there is concern about how AI will be used. There is hype that AI, if left unchecked, will become so powerful it could cause vast unemployment ...
