Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

By explicitly modeling each step of a problem and gradually fading away supports, teachers can give students a clear path to mastering new content.

DeepMind's Aletheia is a huge advance in AI-driven mathematical reasoning. It is a research agent built on top of Gemini Deep ...

A marriage of formal methods and LLMs seeks to harness the strengths of both.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in ...

Instagram is introducing a new tool that lets you see and control your algorithm, starting with Reels, the company announced on Wednesday. The new tool, called “Your Algorithm,” lets you view the ...

Users can note which content they would like to view more frequently. Instagram is handing users some control in deciding what content they see. The social media giant is allowing users to have a say ...

In a world run by computers, there is one algorithm that stands above all the rest. It powers search engines, encrypts your data, guides rockets, runs simulations, and makes the modern digital ...

Imagine a town with two widget merchants. Customers prefer cheaper widgets, so the merchants must compete to set the lowest price. Unhappy with their meager profits, they meet one night in a ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered impossible for even the most powerful conventional supercomputers. The ...

For example, 6 contributes 6 when it’s in an undoubled position, and it contributes 3 from a doubled position because 6 doubled equals 12 and 1 + 2 = 3. Messing up a single number while typing your ...
