Tao: Today there are a lot of very tedious types of mathematics that we don’t like doing, so we look for clever ways to get ...

Since ancient Greece, researchers have tried to isolate special rational points on curves. Now they have the first ever formula that applies uniformly to all curves ...

Discover the physics behind motion with Understanding Friction Coefficient and Force Required to Move a Block. Learn how friction influences movement and how to calculate the force needed to overcome ...

AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we ...

How big would a telescope need to be to see Earth’s dinosaurs from 66 million light-years away? Think big—and then think ...

Cognitive overload can create a bottleneck during math lessons, but there are simple strategies to clear up students’ brain space for complex problem-solving.

Abstract: This article investigates the librational motion control problem of the tethered space-tug (TST) system in the process of deorbiting space debris. By analyzing the dynamic equations of the ...

Your brain calculates complex physics every day and you don't even notice. This neuromorphic chip taps into the same idea.

In recent years, the artificial intelligence (AI) landscape has shifted from quiet curiosity to relentless noise. Conference taglines, vendor solicitations, and slide decks all seem to begin with the ...

Amateur mathematicians are using artificial intelligence chatbots to solve long-standing problems, in a move that has taken professionals by surprise. While the problems in question aren’t the most ...

Over the weekend, Neel Somani, who is a software engineer, former quant researcher, and a startup founder, was testing the math skills of OpenAI’s new model when he made an unexpected discovery. After ...

A recent Gallup poll asked about employees' use of AI at work. Nearly half said they use it at least a few times a year. There were some big differences between industries. The use of AI tools among ...
