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

An experiment with 2,520 participants backs Richard Feynman’s answer to every diner’s dilemma: do I want to try something new ...

By encoding mathematical statements into numbers, mathematician Kurt Gödel used ordinary arithmetic to check whether a ...

A week after OpenAI made headlines with an A.I.-generated proof, a new “declaration” by 16 experts raises concerns that the ...

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal ...

Physicist Richard Feynman turned a lunch dilemma into a math problem. Researchers finally cracked his notes and found people ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

P vs. NP asks: are these two classes actually the same? If P = NP, then every “hard” problem is secretly fast to solve; we ...

OpenAI makes big splash with AI finding math problem breakthrough. Real lesson is to use AI to find counterexamples. An AI ...

Tests of how well 19 large language models (LLMs) complete and perform complicated multi-step tasks has shown that they are both error-prone and, in many cases, unreliable. They said that the ...

Abstract: Partial differential equations (PDEs) are ubiquitous to the mathematical description of physical phenomena. Typical examples describe the evolution of a field in time as a function of its ...

Materials inspired by nature, or biomimetic materials, are nothing new. Scientists have designed water-resistant materials inspired by lotus leaves and rose petals, unsinkable metals based on the ...
