In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

AI math proof verification reached a new frontier as DeepMind’s AlphaProof Nexus solved nine open Erdős research problems with Lean-verified proofs, some unsolved for 56 years. The May 2026 Science Ne ...

The math world is losing its mind over the new solution to an Erdős problem. This is what AI found, how we missed it—and why ...

P vs. NP asks: are these two classes actually the same? If P = NP, then every “hard” problem is secretly fast to solve; we ...

The closest the field has come to solving the planar unit distance problem, first proposed in the 1940s, was in 1984. Now, OpenAI claims an internal model has cracked the puzzle.

The world’s only vertical quantum center, DQC was founded by leading quantum scientists in 2021. Led by Kenneth Brown, DQC ...

It’s a weird time to be studying computer science. Recent grads have a higher unemployment rate than those in just about ...

Sharla Boehm, a math teacher, spent her summers coding. She’d go on to build what would eventually evolve into the Internet ...
