Mathematicians working on fluid dynamics, symbolic computation, and formal proof verification are finding that ...
OpenAI's AI disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, an 80-year-old geometry problem. Days later, Google DeepMind solved ...
AI math proof verification reached a new frontier as DeepMind’s AlphaProof Nexus solved nine open Erdős research problems with Lean-verified proofs, some unsolved for 56 years. The May 2026 Science Ne ...
At a secret meeting in 2025, some of the world's leading mathematicians gathered to test OpenAI's newest large language model, o4-mini. Experts at the meeting were amazed by how much the model's ...
Turbulence is one of the least understood phenomena of the physical world. Long considered too hard to understand and predict mathematically, turbulence is the reason the Navier-Stokes equations, ...
Axiom Math, a $1.6B AI unicorn, is building a formally verified library of economic theorems — and already found gaps in the ...
Every day, dozens of like-minded mathematicians gather on an online forum called Zulip to build what they believe is the future of their field. They’re all devotees of a software program called Lean.
In the 1970s, the late mathematician Paul Cohen, the only person to ever win a Fields Medal for work in mathematical logic, reportedly made a sweeping prediction that continues to excite and irritate ...
A new mathematical framework, built on a branch of number theory called adelic analysis, has produced a complete proof of the ...
The Langlands program has inspired and befuddled mathematicians for more than 50 years. A major advance has now opened up new worlds for them to explore One of the biggest stories in science has been ...
