Anthropic released a proof of the long-standing percolation theory conjecture on GitHub, generated by a large language model, just days after Fields Medalist Hugo Duminil-Copin wrote on August 30, 202…
Three mathematicians posted a proof on arXiv showing that OpenAI's claimed solution to the Navier-Stokes problem can never be extended to the full problem, because the method only produces a blowup wh…
Neuromorphic computing, also called brain-inspired computing, aims to close the energy gap between the human brain, which runs on roughly 20 watts, and today's AI systems, which can require vast compu…
Alpha School, a private-school company using AI tutors for students, plans to expand to roughly 50 U.S. campuses this fall, including 27 new locations, with tuition ranging from $40,000 to $75,000 per…
Microsoft announced its new Majorana 2 quantum chip, claiming a major improvement in topological quantum computing technology. Outside physicists, however, say the company's approach has never worked …
A Swedish researcher created a fake disease called "bixonimania" to demonstrate how AI chatbots can spread false medical information. The fabricated condition, which claimed to cause sore eyes from sc…
A major unsolved geometry problem known as the "unit distance" conjecture, first posed by mathematician Paul Erdős in 1946, has been solved by an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI. The AI produced a nove…
A new high-resolution digital map of Roman roads reveals that the empire's network spanned approximately 300,000 kilometers in the second century C.E., nearly double the previously known total length.…
Three mathematicians, with minimal assistance from AI, have proven Michel Talagrand's 1995 "convexity conjecture," which asserts that simple, orderly convex shapes inevitably emerge within even the mo…
