Extracting and analyzing relevant medical information from large-scale databases such as biobanks poses considerable challenges. To exploit such "big data," attempts have focused on large sampling ...

To his credit, Kasy is a realist here. He doesn’t presume that any of these proposals will be easy to implement. Or that it will happen overnight, or even in the near future. The troubling question at ...

Your brain calculates complex physics every day and you don't even notice. This neuromorphic chip taps into the same idea.

Computer scientists Maria Apostolaki, Benjamin Eysenbach, and Yasaman Ghasempour; chemists William Jacobs and Erin Stache; physicist Isobel Ojalvo; and mathematician Bartolomeo Stellato are members of ...

Deep within the source code of this online multiplayer game lies an enigmatic number that puzzles and inspires experts to this day ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

DeepMind's Aletheia is a huge advance in AI-driven mathematical reasoning. It is a research agent built on top of Gemini Deep ...

The team used an AI method known as equation discovery to develop a model to simulate the interactions between small eddies—circular, vortex-like currents—and large-scale ones. These interactions are ...

A marriage of formal methods and LLMs seeks to harness the strengths of both.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in ...

If you’ve ever shuffled a deck of playing cards, you’ve most likely created a unique deck. That is, you’re probably the only person who has ever arranged the cards in precisely that order. Although ...
