Claude AI beat the human mathematical record for a Riemann Hypothesis bound after 650 attempts, proving AI can advance ...

Neurosurgery researcher Jin Shanmu has very little formal education in mathematics but solved a major problem in linear ...

Quantum entanglement is key to solving a 250-year-old mathematical puzzle – and the discovery could ultimately help build quantum computers that are more resilient to errors. In the 1700s, according ...

The big picture: Prime numbers do not follow a regular pattern, but mathematicians can measure how closely their distribution follows a predictable average. The Riemann zeta function, an infinite ...

There’s a $1-million prize for proving the Riemann hypothesis. Claude couldn’t pull that off, but it made significant progress on a related problem ...

For more than 150 years, the Riemann hypothesis has stood as one of the major unsolved problems in mathematics. Anthropic hasn't solved it — but the company's models made more progress than you might ...

The shipping industry’s biggest obstacle to decarbonisation is no longer vessel technology but a potential shortage of scalable low-carbon fuels, according to maritime energy specialist Bill Watts.

A collection of simple reinvented gizmos turns small everyday annoyances into surprisingly clever solutions. The video focuses on gadgets designed for problems most people never noticed, from tiny ...

It seems to me that there are some intractable problems facing higher education. We can’t produce more 18-year-olds. We can’t suddenly cut enough people and programs to save all the small colleges and ...

An Anthropic AI model, Claude Fable 5, helped disprove the 87-year-old Jacobian conjecture, a famous open problem in mathematics dating to 1939. The model produced a concrete counterexample that ...

Toyota has cooked up a new patent that hints at a smarter way to bolt EV batteries in place – one that could help future trucks and SUVs shrug off rough roads without breaking a sweat. If you’ve ever ...

A quantum problem once described as impossible for classical computers has now been solved using relatively modest hardware. Researchers used tensor networks to compress the overwhelming wave function ...
