A machine learning (ML) model might retrain or drift between quarterly operational syncs. This means that, by the time an ...

AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we can't verify them. How will we know if they're right?

Ten department heads and seven management editors will comprise the 2026-27 Editorial Board. The board collectively boasts 15 years of prior experience as editors, the most in the paper’s history.

Historian Philip Decker, mathematician Victor Geadah, computer scientist Sayash Kapoor, and literary scholar Eliana Rozinov are this year’s Porter Ogden Jacobus Fellows.

While quantum computing has vast potential, it could also threaten cybersecurity. “Current encryption methods are less secure in the face of the superior computation power of quantum computing” says ...

Almost $1 billion in US government funding helped fuel a series of research projects involving defense labs in China in recent years, according to a new study that concludes security policies around ...

Why do some melodies feel instantly right, balanced, memorable and satisfying, even if you have never heard them before? New research from the University of Waterloo suggests that more than creativity ...

The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun, and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all are ...

“Our goal was to build a clear mathematical bridge between abstract algebra and the experience of listening to music,” said study co-author Olga Ibragimova. “When we think of melodies as shapes we can ...

Early in the morning during festivals, many Indian homes wake up to patterns forming quietly at the doorstep. White powder ...

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 ...

Microsoft Math Solver is a free tool that uses AI to recognize both printed and handwritten math. It’s particularly strong with geometric proofs and interactive graphing, and it pulls learning ...
