AI may have solved one of math’s biggest puzzles, raising controversy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The motion of fluids seems simple, but the equations behind it are the subject of one of the most famous puzzles in mathematics. That puzzle now appears solved, thanks to AI, even as the feat came with a flood of controversy. OpenAI announced September 8 a solution to the Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness problem, which is so monumental that a $1 million prize has been offered for its resolution. “It’s one of the guiding problems for the field. It is a huge deal to know the answer,” says ma
Have scientists glimpsed the first dark matter particle? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One day in June 2023, the numerous, unblinking electronic eyes of the LUX-ZEPLIN detector may have glimpsed something remarkable — possibly the first direct detection of the shadowy dark matter that pervades the cosmos. Or it may have been just another Friday.A new analysis of data from LUX-ZEPLIN, or LZ, found a single particle interaction that is consistent with dark matter, researchers report September 1 at the TeV Particle Astrophysics meeting in Tendo, Japan, and in a paper posted on LZ’s w
Free-falling atoms in space put a new twist on Galileo’s gravity test (opens the original)

This is a human-written story voiced by AI. Got feedback? Take our survey . (See our AI policy here .) An experiment made famous by Galileo has been shrunk down to the atomic level and shipped off to space. To show that objects of different masses fall at the same rate, the 17th century Italian scientist is said — perhaps apocryphally — to have dropped weights off the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Now, scientists have re-created that experiment with atoms falling while orbiting Earth. Two clouds of ato
Spikes, claws and stingers have no single best shape (opens the original)

This is a human-written story voiced by AI. Got feedback? Take our survey . (See our AI policy here .) Spines, spikes, stingers, teeth, claws, beaks, fangs, tusks: Nature’s prickly bits come in a wide variety, but they all reflect the same trade-off. These spiky sundries strike a balance between durability and puncturing prowess, researchers report in the July 8 Science Advances. But nature hasn’t settled on one winning shape. The team measured the shape of 143 biological puncture tools, from fo
Static electricity is a mystery, and scientists are all charged up (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is a human-written story voiced by AI. Got feedback? Take our survey . (See our AI policy here .) Galien Grosjean was a caretaker of tiny glass beads. He bathed them, gently cradled them with tweezers, placed them delicately in his experimental apparatus. He avoided unneeded jostling at all costs: Subtle mishandling could alter the beads’ properties in unknown ways. And, even worse, losing just one could cost him a week’s worth of work. “I tend to be quite clumsy, so I have to fight against
