Physicists and marine biologists built a quantitative framework that predicts how coral polyps collectively construct a variety of coral shapes.

Our computers can get a lot more done when they share the load with other machines.

Invisibly to us, insects and other tiny creatures use static electricity to travel, avoid predators, collect pollen and more. New experiments explore how evolution may have influenced this phenomenon.

You don’t need 0s and 1s to perform computations, and in some cases it’s better to avoid them.

By creating digital twins of patients, Amanda Randles wants to bring unprecedented precision to medical forecasts.

Quadratic reciprocity lurks around many corners in mathematics. By proving it, number theorists reimagined their whole field.

Mathematicians thought they were on the cusp of proving a conjecture about the ancient structures known as Apollonian circles. But a summer project would lead to its downfall.

Today’s language models are more sophisticated than ever, but they still struggle with the concept of negation. That’s unlikely to change anytime soon.

A wave of research improves reinforcement learning algorithms by pre-training them as if they were human.
