The math world is losing its mind over the new solution to an Erdős problem. This is what AI found, how we missed it—and why it matters.

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. An artificial ...

After an AI from OpenAI found a trick to solve an 80-year-old conjecture from Paul Erdős, mathematicians have borrowed the ...

One simple rule can help solve any complex equation. Here's a hint: all it takes is a catchy acronym.

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians have struggled to solve a classic geometry puzzle first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946: the ...

Modeling how cars deform in a crash, how spacecraft responds to extreme environments, or how bridges resist stress could be made thousands of times faster thanks to new artificial intelligence that ...

Abstract: Robust reversible watermarking (RRW) techniques have been proposed in the literature to protect the copyrights of high-fidelity digital images while achieving robustness, reversibility, ...

One of the biggest barriers for secondary English learners in math is not computation, but language. The subject’s complex ...

Belgrade, Mont. — Heavy, wet snow damaged parts of the Belgrade Softball Complex and pushed back practice and game plans for local high school softball teams, as they are now a month into the season.

In November, Google introduced Gemini 3 Pro in preview, with Gemini 3 Flash following a month later. Google today announced Gemini 3.1 Pro “for tasks where a simple answer isn’t enough.” This .1 ...

Another day, another Google AI model. Google has really been pumping out new AI tools lately, having just released Gemini 3 in November. Today, it’s bumping the flagship model to version 3.1. The new ...
