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

At the forefront of discovery, where cutting-edge scientific questions are tackled, we often don’t have much data. Conversely, successful machine learning (ML) tends to rely on large, high quality ...

AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we ...

Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. The study, conducted by Brookhaven theoretical physicist Weiguo Yin and described in a recent paper published in Physical Review B, is ...

How much faster could engineering progress with an artificial intelligence oracle that could answer any physics question? Such a machine is the big picture aim of the newly formed Center for ...

Quantum chemistry calculations offer the best combination of efficiency and accuracy for predicting molecular properties. But the complexity of density functional theory and other methods makes them ...

While atmospheric turbulence is a familiar culprit of rough flights, the chaotic movement of turbulent flows remains an unsolved problem in physics. To gain insight into the system, a team of ...

Mathematics, like many other scientific endeavors, is increasingly using artificial intelligence. Of course, math is the backbone of AI, but mathematicians are also turning to these tools for tasks ...

To the editor: Guest contributor Iddo Gefen not only laments the analogy between the human brain and artificial intelligence, but he also suggests that human minds don’t learn or recall like an AI ...
