How can you have a proof without proving anything? Mathematicians found a way and, in the process, came to blows over it – ...

Physicists have built a real-number version of quantum mechanics that makes all the same predictions as the standard theory, resolving a question that's simmered since the field began.

Exponent gets a buy rating: its expert consulting thrives in high-stakes, regulated technical failures. Click for more on ...

For years, the Fermi Paradox made one idea seem obvious: in a universe this huge, alien civilizations should be everywhere. But this episode turns that logic upside down by asking a far darker ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

Just a week after an AI disproved an 80-year-old conjecture and astonished mathematicians, another conjecture that had stood for half a century has fallen, inspired by the same techniques, but this ...

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

Modeling how cars deform in a crash, how spacecraft responds to extreme environments, or how bridges resist stress could be made thousands of times faster thanks to new artificial intelligence that ...

On May 2, 2026, Berkshire Hathaway held its first annual meeting since Greg Abel succeeded Warren Buffett as CEO, and the most revealing part of the day was not the smaller crowd or the nostalgia in ...

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, said the number of banks included in 'Problem Bank List' of its Q4 2025 Quarterly Banking Profile increased by a net of three to 60. The report ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...
