Math illuminates how traffic flows, how our cells build proteins and even how to speed up medical imaging scans. Some worry ...

As the adage goes, “big things come in tiny packages.” Just ask the humble bumblebee. A team of researchers at the University of Oulu in Finland published a research paper on June 4, suggesting that ...

In 2024, Olli Loukola of the Finland co-authored a study demonstrating that bumblebees could cooperate to solve complex challenges. It’s the kind of cognitive task scientists had previously only ...

Bumblebees faced with a challenge know how to play ball. Buff-tailed bumblebees can figure out on their own how to use a ball as a ladder to nab sugar from an out-of-reach fake flower, researchers ...

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 it matters.

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

Critics of artificial intelligence caution that, as a relatively new technology, its long-term effects on the human brain are still unknown. But a new study shows that AI could be dangerous even in ...

The research, conducted across three separate randomized experiments involving math and reading comprehension tasks, found something that should make any AI user pause and think. After around ten ...
