In a new open-access study that I published with my late colleague Kostya Trachenko from Queen Mary University of London, I propose a surprisingly simple nonlinear mathematical equation that unifies ...

Microplastics are present in virtually all major Canadian freshwater systems, from urban rivers to remote environments. A new ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

The closest the field has come to solving the planar unit distance problem, first proposed in the 1940s, was in 1984. Now, OpenAI claims an internal model has cracked the puzzle.

Time travel has long been a staple of science fiction, capturing the imaginations of storytellers and scientists alike. Recent breakthroughs in mathematical modeling might bring this fantastical ...

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal model—and what that could mean for mathematics.

Psychedelic drug experiences are among the most fascinating but mysterious journeys of the human mind. Long the domain of ...

Just days before the start of the FIFA World Cup, one of the most recognized mathematical models used to forecast ...

A mathematical model has now cracked the exact degree to which one should be ambitious and unlike conventional wisdom, it ...
