Meta's work made headlines and raised a possibility once considered pure fantasy: that AI could soon outperform the world's best mathematicians by cracking math's marquee "unsolvable" problems en ...

You will never be able to prove every mathematical truth. For me, this incompleteness theorem, discovered by Kurt Gödel, is one of the most incredible results in mathematics. It may not surprise ...

The world has shifted its wave drastically towards the era of artificial intelligence. Now every search engine, programs and ...

It has long been a mystery why pure math can reveal so much about the nature of the physical world. Antimatter was discovered in Paul Dirac’s equations before being detected in cosmic rays. Quarks ...

At the heart of every resonator — be it a cello, a gravitational wave detector, or the antenna in your cell phone — there is a beautiful bit of mathematics that has been heretofore unacknowledged.

Politicians praise electric cars. If everyone buys them, they say, solar and wind power will replace our need for oil. But that’s absurd. Here is the rest of my list of “inconvenient facts” about ...

This article is the first part of a series about quantum field theory published by Quanta Magazine. Other stories in the series can be found here. Over the past century, quantum field theory has ...

“First, you get the money, then you get the power, and then you get the women.” Tony Montana Scarface. For Warp drive. First, we get the math, then we get the physics and then we get the warp drive.
