All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in general, research mathematicians don’t need to think about it ...

Building on decades of effort, Lizhong Zhang, Member (2023–24) in the School of Natural Sciences; James Stone, Professor in ...

Using cutting-edge algorithms and exascale supercomputers, researchers have created the most realistic simulations yet of matter flowing into black holes. Building on decades of research, a group of c ...

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize the economy, courts are increasingly being asked to determine ...

Quantum computers are coming. And when they arrive, they are going to upend the way we protect sensitive data. Unlike classical computers, quantum computers harness quantum mechanical effects — like ...

Building on decades of effort, a team of computational astrophysicists has achieved a major milestone: developing the most comprehensive model to date ...

The exploration of quantum information challenges objective reality, positing the universe as a hologram is explored through ...

Researchers have used metamathematical techniques to show that certain theorems that look superficially distinct are in fact ...

It’s hard to pick any one line as my favorite in the 1998 cult classic “The Big Lebowksi,” because there are far too many to choose from, but I think I most enjoy the moment when John Goodman’s ...

An engineer for New York Times Games has been trying to teach artificial intelligence to understand wordplay more like a human.

A new NURBS-based algorithm is revolutionizing gridshell design by enabling faster, smoother, and more flexible shape-finding ...
