Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas agrees that AI is shifting software engineering away from manual coding and back towards mathematics, physics and systems thinking, as tech leaders debate AI’s impact ...

With the Trump administration’s attacks on so-called woke AI it is becoming even harder to make the technology we use fairer and more diverse. Leading voices are speaking out, reports Catherine de Lan ...

The team also achieved remarkable results by outperforming all participating Pakistani teams and 21 Indian teams.

In an environment in which information is abundant but understanding is scarce, some books stand out because they fundamentally change the way we think about society, technology, history, and human ...

Science fiction often shows teleportation as instant travel, but the real science, quantum teleportation, is about transferring information, not matter itself. Quantum entanglement is a key concept, ...

A new AI framework called THOR is transforming how scientists calculate the behavior of atoms inside materials. Instead of relying on slow simulations that take weeks of supercomputer time, the system ...

Often, AI fails to answer questions like these. These are known as “Erdős problems,” named after the Hungarian mathematician ...

Again and again, Washington State University professor Mesut Cicek and his colleagues fed hypotheses from scientific papers ...

The most widely adopted computer language in history, COBOL is now causing a host of problems. It's also dangerously difficult to remove.

Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have uncovered a new way to manipulate unusual magnetic states by exploiting “frustration” ...

First Proof is an effort to see whether LLMs can contribute meaningfully to pure mathematics research. The dust has settled on round one, and the results are surprising ...

Curiosity-driven research has long sparked technological transformations. A century ago, curiosity about atoms led to quantum mechanics, and eventually the transistor at the heart of modern computing.
