The errors that quantum computers make are holding the technology back. But recent progress in quantum error correction has ...

In a landmark study published in Cell Reports, scientists demonstrated that mouse cortical organoids (miniature, lab-grown ...

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 ...

Many engineering challenges come down to the same headache—too many knobs to turn and too few chances to test them. Whether tuning a power grid or designing a safer vehicle, each evaluation can be ...

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 ...

I did what millions now do. I generated a few images using Gemini, ChatGPT and Claude. Clean lines. Good lighting. Slightly stylised. To me, they looked fine. For validation, I dropped them into our ...

Large language models struggle to solve research-level math questions. It takes a human to assess just how poorly they perform. By Siobhan Roberts A few weeks ago, a high school student emailed Martin ...

THE main problem is York Hospital car park is too close to Wigginton Road. Not all the traffic is entering the hospital and just wants to pass through. Would a possible solution be to use the staff ...
