The second batch of “First Proof” problems is meant to evaluate AI’s usefulness for research-level math. The best model got ...

With automated proof-checkers, a problem can be broken up into small chunks, solved bit-by-bit, then reassembled with ...

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

Seven outstanding Cambridge researchers have this year been elected to the Fellowship of the Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of sciences.

It’s not often a math paper goes viral, but a new preprint from a theoretical physicist at Poland’s Jagiellonian University has well and truly bucked the trend. Why? Because it seems to reduce all of ...

Australia has passed a law banning life insurance companies from denying or restricting coverage based on the results of genetic tests or even based on whether an applicant or their genetic relatives ...

An Ice Age double burial in Italy has yielded a stunning genetic revelation. DNA from a mother and daughter who lived over 12,000 years ago shows that the younger had a rare inherited growth disorder, ...

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 ...

Kshitij Rai and Ronan O’Connell, co-first authors on the study, worked on the project during their time as doctoral students in Caleb Bashor's laboratory at Rice University. HOUSTON – (Jan. 14, 2026) ...

Low-rank data analysis has emerged as a powerful paradigm across applied mathematics, statistics, and data science. With the rapid growth of modern datasets in size, dimensionality, and complexity, ...
