A million-dollar math mystery may someday be resolved in a physics lab. A new study brings this vision one step closer.

AI’s greatest mathematical successes have come from answers to problems posed by a mid-20th century iconoclast. By examining ...

Astra, OpenAI’s planned GPT-5.6 successor, produced new results in geometry, cryptography, coding theory, and theoretical computer science.

Uncover the definition of fuzzy logic, which is a computational approach that interprets uncertain data, and learn more about ...

Britain does not lack difficult problems. Nor do we lack good ideas. But too often we fail to build lasting public agreement around the biggest decisions we face. Social care, welfare reform, and the ...

The bees had to roll the ball under a blue "flower," then stand atop the moved object to access a sweet treat. Mikko Törmänen / University of Oulu Some bumblebees can spontaneously solve problems, a ...

German psychologist Wolfgang Köhler set up a famous experiment more than 100 years ago that changed how scientists understand animal intelligence and the power of insight — or spontaneous ...

In a new study, bumble bees solve a completely novel object-manipulation task. What makes this behavior especially remarkable is that the bees had never been trained. The findings challenge the ...
