These elusive and reactive particles have been challenging to hold on to and even more challenging to study, but a new method paves the way for tests on the differences between matter and antimatter.
To understand how Elon’s new car hops, glides, and sticks upside down, we need to talk about friction and force.
The metric might not mean much to laypeople, but leap seconds have been a source of contention in the timekeeping community for years. Now, they’re dead.
Researchers took lessons from nocturnal animals to help rescue drones overcome a key challenge: flying in the dark.
“There’s a perception of mobster behavior” from leading AI companies, one mathematician tells WIRED as OpenAI prepares to release more than 100 new solutions to unsolved problems.
A global network of detectors are reporting some of the most substantial measurements yet of neutrinos created deep underground by the radioactive elements that power our planet’s tectonic activity.
Mathematics has been one of humanity’s most creative endeavors, akin to painting and poetry. Now, mathematicians are trying to save it from the brute force of AI.
Powerful AI models have created an existential risk to the field, but researchers can’t stop relying on them because they’re too useful.
“There’s no reason we can’t think that, at some point in the future, we can have volcano forecasts that are like weather forecasts.”
Steven Strogatz coauthored a book about how math is moving beyond human understanding. He spoke with WIRED about the seismic impact artificial intelligence has had on his life’s work.
