Astronomers are ready to search for the fingerprints of life in faraway planetary atmospheres. But first, they need to know ...
Larger models can pull off a wider variety of feats, but the reduced footprint of smaller models makes them attractive tools.
In math and computer science, researchers have long understood that some questions are fundamentally unanswerable. Now ...
Rare and powerful compounds, known as keystone molecules, can build a web of invisible interactions among species.
In math and computer science, researchers have long understood that some questions are fundamentally unanswerable. Now physicists are exploring how even ordinary physical systems put hard limits on ...
A new proof extends the work of the late Maryam Mirzakhani, cementing her legacy as a pioneer of alien mathematical realms.
Just as ice melts to water, graphs undergo phase transitions. Two mathematicians showed that they can pinpoint such transitions by examining only local structure. The Quanta Newsletter ...
