The New Jersey Devils finally pulled the trigger and traded former second-overall pick Simon Nemec to the Calgary Flames.

A seven-team Giannis Antetokounmpo trade to the Boston Celtics sounds outrageous, but the framework only starts to make sense ...

The AI boom is creating odd political bedfellows fueled by populism as politicians from Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders to President Donald Trump embrace giving the public a stake in AI’s growth.

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 ...

Using a conventional computer and cutting-edge mathematical tools and code, physicists at the Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) at the Simons Foundation's Flatiron Institute and ...

Associate professor of mathematics Otis Chodosh ’10 Ph.D. ’15 received the 2026 New Horizons in Mathematics Prize from the Breakthrough Prize Foundation. The prize comes with a $100,000 award and ...

The cosmological constant is the mathematical description of the energy that drives the ever-accelerating expansion of the cosmos. It's also the source of one of the most enduring and confounding ...

The cosmological constant has been a problem in physics since Einstein, but new research may show why it takes the value that it does despite quantum fluctuations that should make its value ...

Mathematician Kevin Buzzard of Imperial College London is training computers how to prove one of the most famous problems in math history: Fermat’s last theorem. Resolving the problem isn’t the point.

Simon Broucke didn’t expect to use his mathematics degree for his music assistant job at “Masquerade,” the new interactive revival of “The Phantom of the Opera” in New York. But when “Masquerade” ...
