Could the hunt for the universe’s missing matter be the biggest wild goose chase in scientific history? By Joseph Howlett edited by Seth Fletcher This article is part of a special package on “Impossible Questions”—scientific quandaries that may never get definitive answers. Read the rest of the collection here. I used to have a more interesting morning commute. At daybreak I’d squeeze into a tiny Fiat with all the physicists it could fit. We’d drive through winding Italian roads and onto a highw

25 winners of math’s ‘Nobel Prize’ decry the AI invasion of their discipline A new declaration from winners of the Fields Medal reflects many mathematicians’ growing alarm over a “severe misalignment” between the tech industry and their field a week after AI toppled one of math’s biggest open problems By Joseph Howlett edited by Lee Billings Read about how mathematicians are dealing with the AI takeover of their field in our newest feature here. Top mathematicians are increasingly pushing back a

Ten cosmic discoveries we’ll get from NASA’s Roman Space Telescope NASA’s Roman Space Telescope will open a whole new window on the cosmos. Here are 10 things it’s likely to show us By Joseph Howlett edited by Lee Billings After more than a decade of development, NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launched to space on Sunday. With its unprecedented field of view—100 times that of the Hubble Space Telescope—Roman is guaranteed to tell astronomers all sorts of new things about our universe,

No, Anthropic’s AI didn’t just solve math’s hardest problem There’s a $1-million prize for proving the Riemann hypothesis. Claude couldn’t pull that off, but it made significant progress on a related problem By Joseph Howlett edited by Lee Billings Let’s start here: math’s most famous problem is no closer to being solved than it was a week ago. Neither humans nor artificial intelligence have made progress on the Riemann hypothesis. But AI did just make its first major advance toward the problem’
