Amateur mathematicians are using artificial intelligence chatbots to solve long-standing problems, in a move that has taken professionals by surprise. While the problems in question aren’t the most ...

You probably don’t need more time. By Jancee Dunn When I look back on all the major decisions I’ve dithered over, I could scream. It took me a decade to commit to becoming a parent. I wavered for a ...

Abstract: Reasonable allocation and utilization of resources in modern industrial production is the key to improve production efficiency and reduce costs. As an effective mathematical optimization ...

A new study publishing in Current Biology on September 18 reveals that dogs with a vocabulary of toy names—known as Gifted Word Learners—can extend learned labels to entirely new objects, not because ...

When WarnerMedia and Discovery Inc. merged back in 2022, the rationale was that the combination would put the companies in a better position to compete against Netflix, Disney and others that were ...

A "fine-tuned" artificial intelligence (AI) tool shows promise for objective evaluation of patients with facial palsy, reports an experimental study in the June issue of Plastic and Reconstructive ...

Laurenz Casser receives funding from the Leverhulme Trust. Are you in pain? Are you sure? On a scale from zero to ten, where zero is no pain at all and ten is the worst pain imaginable, how much pain ...

Word problems try and tell students a story about the math problem in front of them. They are a useful way to connect abstract numbers to concrete situations, so students can learn early on to apply ...

Working memory is like a mental chalkboard we use to store temporary information while executing other tasks. Scientists worked with more than 200 elementary students to test their working memory, ...

Creative problem-solving can be an exhilarating experience. You get a triple benefit: the euphoric 'aha' moment of solving a puzzle, the pride of accomplishing a goal, and the deeper self-discovery of ...

Mathematicians have finally succeeded in unifying the laws of physics that govern the motions of particles at different scales. Their efforts resolve a question set by mathematician David Hilbert in ...
