An in-depth look at how cryptocurrency mining affects energy use, emissions, e-waste, and the push toward sustainable blockchains.

Imagine that you want to know the most efficient way to make a torus—a doughnut-shaped mathematical object—from origami paper. Instead of seeming almost perfectly smooth, the torus that you envision ...

Frustrated by the AI industry’s claims of proving math results without offering transparency, a team of leading academics has ...

We present Prover Agent, a novel AI agent for automated theorem proving that integrates large language models (LLMs) with a formal proof assistant, Lean. Prover Agent coordinates an informal reasoning ...

Large language models struggle to solve research-level math questions. It takes a human to assess just how poorly they ...
