In an unprecedented step, researchers crafted a detailed model compatible with the universe’s accelerated expansion.

Mathematicians have broken through a long-standing barrier in the study of “minimizing surfaces,” which play an important role in both math and physics.

If language is what makes us human, what does it mean now that large language models have gained “metalinguistic” abilities?

The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get any better.

A team of mathematicians based in Vienna is developing tools to extend the scope of general relativity.

Researchers have devised a scheme for painting the edges of a graph that’s almost as speedy as possible.

Rose Yu has a plan for how to make AI better, faster and smarter — and it’s already yielding results.

A powerful mathematical technique is used to model melting ice and other phenomena. But it has long been imperiled by certain “nightmare scenarios.” A new proof has removed that obstacle.

A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster than previously deemed possible.
