The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.

AI can rifle through enormous libraries of information to connect far-flung ideas—conceptual leaps remain a purely human skill. The planar unit distance problem, or Erdős problem 90, has intrigued ...

The tipping point came in the summer of 2025. That July, several artificial intelligence models solved five out of six problems at the International Mathematical Olympiad, an annual challenge for some ...

Alice the quantum magician: If you shuffle a large deck of cards and then hide most of the labels on the cards, no-one will be able to tell what permutations you made – unless the cards are quantum.

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, are expected to outperform classical computers on some complex tasks. Over the past few decades, many ...

THE same question keeps coming up: why don’t you write about the solutions? Let me give two answers here. The first answer is that, in all honesty, the kind with hand on heart, nobody is really ...
