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 ...

Despite having tiny brains, bumblebees have demonstrated a remarkable ability to socially learn how to use tools, solve simple puzzles, and cooperate to achieve a goal. It seems they can also solve ...

In a new study, bumble bees solve a completely novel object-manipulation task. What makes this behavior especially remarkable is that the bees had never been trained. The findings challenge the ...

The tech giant says a breakthrough in data center networking has dramatically accelerated the flow of information through its massive cloud infrastructure. The new technology hinges on a “quasi-random ...

OpenAI claims its new reasoning model has produced an original mathematical proof disproving a famous unsolved conjecture in geometry, which was first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. If this sounds ...

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 ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Carrying out everyday home chores, such as cleaning, mowing, and cooking, consumes a large portion of the day, after which you are often left ...

Researchers say the findings raise questions about what happens to our brains and patterns if we depend too much on AI. Dashia is the consumer insights editor for CNET. She specializes in data-driven ...

Researchers have found a faster, more accurate way to design magnetic “bottles” that hold plasma for fusion power. Using symmetry theory instead of traditional, slow Newton-based calculations, they ...

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics makes the argument that teachers, principals, and district leaders must “stay up to date on current AI trends” to prepare students for the future. But ...
