An artificial intelligence (AI) model has solved an 80-year-old math problem in a feat hailed as a major milestone for AI's mathematical ability. The planar unit distance problem, first posed by ...

“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.” And you’ll definitely need to sit down ...

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 ...

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 mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

Micron is the only US-based memory manufacturer, and Mehrotra is now making the case that the supply gap will outlast the current calendar cycle. He framed memory as foundational to AI: “Memory is a ...

This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the quest to develop these machines here and see an illustrated field guide to qubits here. The 21st-century fervor ...

The artificial-intelligence boom has sparked a massive rally for chip stocks so far this year, netting a record for the widely followed PHLX Semiconductor Index. The sector has been led higher by ...

What Nvidia's entrance into PC processors means for AMD, Apple, Intel, and Qualcomm. And more importantly, what it means for your next laptop. From the laptops on your desk to satellites in space and ...

SHANGHAI—Huawei Technologies said it has developed a workaround that will allow it to make chips on par with leading products manufactured by Intel and other top global companies by 2031, the latest ...

The artificial-intelligence investment thesis has always rested on a single claim: The demand is real, the chips are scarce and the cash flows will follow.

The European Union is making a fresh attempt to revive its faltering semiconductor industry via a rebooted Chips Act, an effort expected to require €120 billion ($140 billion) in public-private ...
