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 ...

Scientists at Queen Mary, University of London and Royal Holloway, University of London have discovered that bees learn to fly the shortest possible route between flowers even if they discover the ...

Computers can be used to help solve problems. However, before a problem can be tackled, the problem itself - and the ways in which it could be solved - needs to be understood. Computational thinking ...

Decomposition close decompositionBreaking down a complex problem or system into smaller parts that are more manageable and easier to understand. involves breaking down a complex problem or system into ...

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 ...

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 ...

Your brain could be gently coaxed into working on complex problems while you sleep, making you better able to tackle them the next day. Now, Karen Konkoly at Northwestern University in Illinois and ...

There may be a new artificial intelligence-driven tool to turbocharge scientific discovery: virtual labs. Modeled after a well-established Stanford School of Medicine research group, the virtual lab ...

Penn researchers have developed a smarter AI method for solving notoriously difficult inverse equations, which help ...

‘Pretty devastating’ Apple paper raises doubts about race to reach stage of AI at which it matches human intelligence Apple researchers have found “fundamental limitations” in cutting-edge artificial ...

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 ...
