For decades, physicists have argued about Feynman’s Sprinkler Problem, the question of how a reverse sprinkler would operate.

More than three decades after Andrew Wiles proved the 350-year-old Fermat's Last Theorem, mathematicians are teaching AI to understand and verify its famously difficult proof. The goal is not to solve ...

For a lot of people, mathematics is the subject they were glad to leave behind at school. Cold, hard, full of rules and one right answer. So it can come as a surprise that one of the greatest minds ...

That AI was part of solving a pure mathematical problem 80 years after it was posed does not mean it is superintelligent. I was astonished to see in a 29 May Wall Street Journal article that OpenAI’s ...

For more than three centuries, one of mathematics' greatest puzzles resisted every attempt at a solution. Then a quiet British mathematician cracked it while working in his attic.

Google and OpenAI have solved decades-old problems — but the scientific community is beginning to discuss whether limits should be placed on the technology ...

In 2026, a quiet but fundamental tectonic shift is occurring in the world of mathematics. AI has begun to prove, one after another, unsolved problems that humans have been unable to solve for decades.
