A research team based in China says its artificial intelligence system has done something no AI has publicly done before: ...

Of all the scientific disciplines, pure math, also known as theoretical math, is arguably one of the most cerebral. While chemists tend to make discoveries in the lab, mathematicians are more likely ...

Artificial intelligence has formally verified the prizewinning proof that solved the sphere packing problem in eight dimensions, a result closely tied to Maryna Viazovska’s Fields Medal. The ...
