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 ...

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 ...

Scientists say they have solved in detail what may be the most famous lawn-care-related problem in all of physics. The so-called Feynman sprinkler problem is named after one of the best-known ...

Katie has a PhD in maths, specializing in the intersection of dynamical systems and number theory. She reports on topics from maths and history to society and animals. Katie has a PhD in maths, ...

Physicists have debated which way a submerged sprinkler sucking in water would spin. Careful experiments provide an answer. By Kenneth Chang Scientists say they have solved in detail what may be the ...
