AxiomProver solved a real open math conjecture using formal verification, signaling a shift from AI that assists research to AI that discovers new truths.

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells.

A marriage of formal methods and LLMs seeks to harness the strengths of both.

In today’s advanced packages, however, resistance no longer resides primarily inside transistors or neatly bounded test ...

Long before quantum mechanics existed, a scientist developed a powerful way of describing motion by drawing an analogy between particles and light.

Researchers across biology, philosophy, and AI are split on what counts as a mind—and whether today’s systems qualify.

The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has shifted from late-night dorm debate to a live question in physics and philosophy. A growing body of work now treats the “simulation ...

The best argument that USS Nimitz should be retired is not that the ship is old and tired; it is that the sea does not anymore reward the type of predictable concentration that the ship was designed ...

This Valentine’s Day, professors from the Mathematics, Art, and English departments translate love, romance, and dating into mathematical, artistic, and literary terms to answer your deepest questions ...

Why post-quantum cryptography matters, and how SecuPi helps you prepare Preparing for quantum threats isn't about a single upgrade: it's about building adaptable systems. SecuPi is designed to evolve ...
