Analyzing stochastic cell-to-cell variability can potentially reveal causal interactions in gene regulatory networks.

Introduction: Why Work Ethic Must Be Taken Seriously Nations do not collapse only because they lack resources; they collapse when they lack discipline .

Researchers from McMaster University and the University of Pittsburgh have created the first functionally complete logic gate—a NAND gate (short for "NOT AND")—in a soft material using only beams of ...

Computers are extremely good with numbers, but they haven’t gotten many human mathematicians fired. Until recently, they could barely hold their own in high school-level math competitions. But now ...

Hallucination is fundamental to how transformer-based language models work. In fact, it’s their greatest asset: this is the method by which language models find links between sometimes disparate ...

Mathematical proof debunks the idea that the universe is a computer simulation by Patty Wellborn, University of British Columbia edited by Gaby Clark, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' notes Credit: AI ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. At the turn of the 20th century, the renowned mathematician David Hilbert had a grand ambition to bring a more rigorous, mathematical ...

The term "reasoning" is a familiar metaphor in today's artificial intelligence (AI) technology, often used to describe the verbose outputs generated by so-called reasoning AI models such as OpenAI's ...

Earlier this month, 36 sharp-witted high school students from around the globe stepped foot on the warm and breezy campus of Stanford University. Out of more than 4,000 students from more than 2,000 ...

Introduction: Mathematical creativity refers to personal ability to propose novel and original solutions or ideas in the process of solving mathematical problems. Many studies have confirmed that flow ...

Word problems try and tell students a story about the math problem in front of them. They are a useful way to connect abstract numbers to concrete situations, so students can learn early on to apply ...
