We meet a solutions architect who tells us that his defining characteristic is curiosity, and that for him success is in solving problems with technology, for people.

Researchers now say OpenAI’s GPT-5 has helped prove strict limits on QMA. The model suggested a mathematical expression that led to a breakthrough on how far error reduction can go. The study may be ...

Microsoft Research has developed an analog optical computer (AOC) that uses light to solve complex problems.

When computer scientists hang out at cocktail parties, they're apt to chat, among other things, about the single most important unsolved problem in computer science: the question, Does P = NP?

A mathematician was keen to forecast the evolution of the COVID epidemic. Instead, he ended up solving a problem which had troubled computer scientists for decades. During the corona epidemic many of ...

When the Clay Mathematics Institute put individual $1-million prize bounties on seven unsolved mathematical problems, they may have undervalued one entry—by a lot. If mathematicians were to resolve, ...

Data centers squander vast amounts of electricity, most of it as heat. The physical properties of diamond offer a potential ...

Are living brain computers the solution to AI’s biggest problem? - IN FOCUS: It’s not artificial intelligence, but actual intelligence. Living neurons can solve profound problems while being ‘one ...

We were warned that our embrace of computer technology would lead to disaster. By incorporating computers into ever more areas of our lives, we were told, we had created a scenario in which a mundane ...

In 1973, Paul Erdős asked if it was possible to assemble sets of “triples” — three points on a graph — so that they abide by two seemingly incompatible rules. A new proof shows it can always be done.

When trying to solve a problem—small or large—many people may tend to rush to a solution in order to get a process in motion or to just get it off their plate so they can focus on other things.

It's one thing when your computer starts exhibiting annoying problems like slowdown or lockdowns, but it's another matter entirely when those problems reach borderline supernatural status. Most ...
