The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to ...

I have a confession that probably won't surprise anyone who knows me well: I love reading books about mathematicians. Not because I understand the dense mathematics. I struggled through four semesters ...

In 1946, the mathematician Paul Erdős posed the unit distance problem—and suggested a winning strategy. An A.I. model has now ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

The time of the day that you use electricity at home could determine how expensive or inexpensive your power bill is. Seattle City Light launched a new rate option called “Time of Use” for residential ...

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians have struggled to solve a classic geometry puzzle first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946: the planar unit distance problem. The question posed by the legendary Hungarian ...

OpenAI claims its model solved a famous geometry problem that has eluded the world’s greatest mathematicians for 80 years — a breakthrough hailed as evidence of the bot’s creativity and “intuition.” ...

OpenAI claims its new reasoning model has produced an original mathematical proof disproving a famous unsolved conjecture in geometry, which was first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. If this sounds ...

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

At the White Sox’s ballpark, you can get a Colombian-Polish fusion emparogi ($16.99), a chicken chorizo "Machete" ($13.99) and more. There’s not as much variety at Wrigley Field. Jon Greenberg / The ...

As President Trump prepares for a reported visit to China, Washington will focus on the signals coming out of the meeting. It should also be asking a more uncomfortable question: How much insight into ...

Penn researchers have developed a smarter AI method for solving notoriously difficult inverse equations, which help scientists uncover hidden causes behind observable effects. By introducing ...
