Professor Gilbert Strang taught linear algebra for 61 years. His free online lectures, part of MIT OpenCourseWare, reached ...

It’s a weird time to be studying computer science. Recent grads have a higher unemployment rate than those in just about ...

AI math proof verification reached a new frontier as DeepMind’s AlphaProof Nexus solved nine open Erdős research problems with Lean-verified proofs, some unsolved for 56 years. The May 2026 Science Ne ...

When Eric Weber, professor and chair of mathematics at Iowa State University, talks about data science with future math ...

A week after OpenAI made headlines with an A.I.-generated proof, a new “declaration” by 16 experts raises concerns that the ...

As our economy, society and daily life become increasingly dependent on data, new college graduates entering the workforce need to have the skills to analyze data effectively and from multiple angles.

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 ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

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.

MIT engineers have created an ultrasonic device that rapidly frees water from materials designed to absorb moisture from the air. Instead of waiting hours for heat to evaporate the trapped water, the ...

Scientists at MIT and Stanford have unveiled a promising new way to help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively. Their strategy targets a hidden “off switch” that tumors ...

Process mining company Celonis has acquired MIT-linked decision intelligence supplier Ikigai Labs to flesh out its offer to eliminate artificial intelligence (AI) “blind spots” from business IT.
