Physicists have debated which way a submerged sprinkler sucking in water would spin. Careful experiments provide an answer.

How can you have a proof without proving anything? Mathematicians found a way and, in the process, came to blows over it – ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

After 80 years of fruitless struggle by human mathematicians, a major geometry conjecture has at last been solved—via a straightforward query to a chatbot. “No previous AI-generated proof has come ...

In this video I will work through 22 different examples of solving two-step equations using a worksheet I created for my students. I will use the properties of equality, inverse operations, and ...

Each variable represents a specific influence in a person’s life. “X” refers to inheritance: family background, environment, and circumstances beyond individual control. The lowercase “i” represents ...

Physics-aware machine learning integrates domain-specific physical knowledge into machine learning models, leading to the development of physics-informed neural networks (PINNs). PINNs embed physical ...

What are the most pressing global crises in 2026? Each year, the International Rescue Committee’s (IRC) Emergency Watchlist identifies the countries at greatest risk of new or worsening humanitarian ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...
