Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...

Generative AI is becoming ubiquitous in everyday life. Large language models like ChatGPT can help answer questions, write email, and solve problems at seemingly lightning speed, pulling from enormous ...

Using a conventional computer and cutting-edge mathematical tools and code, physicists at the Center for Computational ...

A ripple tells you something happened, but not exactly what. That is the core problem behind a hard class of equations that scientists use when they try to work backward from what they can measure to ...

A new AI framework called THOR is transforming how scientists calculate the behavior of atoms inside materials. Instead of relying on slow simulations that take weeks of supercomputer time, the system ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Progress in the foundations of physics is moving slowly. And yet it moves. Today I look at the five biggest problems in physics, what their status is, and how long it will ...

When my cofounder and I were accepted into a competitive startup accelerator program in fall 2025, we applied with an ambitious idea: to build an “AI scientist” for machine learning research. What ...
