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 ...

A long-standing mathematical conundrum has been solved by ChatGPT in a few hours, with only a few simple prompts. The Dinitz-Garg-Goemans conjecture is a 30-year-old question in graph theory, but a ...

A mathematician has cracked an 87-year-old conundrum with the help of AI and announced the solution unceremoniously in a tweet. The finding is the most difficult mathematical problem yet solved by AI, ...

Richard Feynman was a serious physicist who loved to answer unserious questions. Can math tell you how to order the optimal lunch? Can a human track scents like a bloodhound can by smelling his own ...

One of the core tenets of productivity is to do more with less. But the opposite holds true, too — which a sneaky, pernicious trend permeating the laptop market might reveal. Microprocessor vendors ...

Goal 2 is about creating a world free of hunger by 2030. The global issue of hunger and food insecurity has shown an alarming increase since 2015, a trend exacerbated by a combination of factors ...
