One would imagine that an AI capable of solving the hardest Olympiad problems would naturally produce novel scientific ...

Engineers design safer cars, more resilient spacecraft, and stronger bridges using complex math problems that drive the underlying processes. Similarly, doctors use mathematical models to predict ...

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

Scientists at Fudan University, Peking University, and the Shanghai Academy of AI for Science ...

Everyday frustrations in science, from clogged grant systems to confusing public messages, are not just abstract complaints. In a 2016 survey of 270 scientists, researchers identified concrete ...

Could the same computer algorithms that teach autonomous cars to drive safely help identify nearby asteroids or discover life in the universe? NASA scientists are trying to figure that out by ...

Robert Hazen and Michael Wong discuss their bold proposal for a new law of nature, centered around the idea that information is as fundamental to the cosmos as mass, energy or charge. Most organic ...
