For more than three decades, the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) has captivated Ghana. From its humble beginnings in 1993, from a curious question on a tennis court at the University of Ghana, ...

VUB's Data Analytics Lab has published new results showing that it is possible to develop original mathematical proofs using commercial language models. In a paper posted to the arXiv preprint server, ...

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 ...

The central limit theorem started as a bar trick for 18th-century gamblers. Now scientists rely on it every day.

Engineering structures in the Arctic icy conditions are subject to the impact of moving ice fields that cause dangerous vibrations of structures ...

Male violence against women is not a biological constant, but a cultural product of entitlement, impunity, and narrative control, and the "one in three" statistic is not just a tragedy, but a business ...

Bartosz Naskrecki, a mathematician at Adam Mickiewicz University in Pozna, had designed the complex challenge as part of the FrontierMath benchmark.

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 ...

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.

As binary neutron stars spiral around each other to merge, their gravitational tidal forces distort each other's shape and structure, potentially revealing clues as to what lies within them.

Aravind Srinivas endorsed a post on X by a physics and AI/ML student that argued large language models (LLMs) are automating ...

Despite significant mathematical refinements, econometrics has shown the weaknesses of its logical underpinnings, primarily during economic turning points—financial crises, pandemics, and geopolitical ...
