An OpenAI model solved a famous math problem that stumped humans for 80 years

1 June 2026 at 12:00

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

OpenAI gave several mathematicians early access to the result andΒ published their reactions.Β Tim Gowersβ€”who won the Fields Medal, the most prestigious prize in mathematicsβ€”wrote that β€œthere is no doubt that the solution to the unit-distance problem is a milestone in AI mathematics.”

University of Toronto professorΒ Daniel LittΒ wrote that β€œthis is the first example of a result produced autonomously by an AI that I find exciting in itself, as opposed to as a leading indicator.”

Michael GuillΓ©n, a physicist who has taught at Harvard University and worked as a science editor at ABC News, has pushed a provocative claim into the public bloodstream: that the biblical Paradise may have a physical β€œaddress” in the universe. In a January 18, 2026 opinion essay for Fox News, GuillΓ©n argues that modern cosmology, […]

Should Halley’s Comet Be Renamed?

1 February 2026 at 11:39

Although Halley’s Comet will not return to our vicinity for another 35 years, a new analysis has sparked media attention with the claim that this famous object is wrongly named. Professors Michael Lewis of the British Museum and Simon Zwart of Leiden University have presented evidence that the monk Eilmer of Malmesbury recognized the comet’s […]

10 Dark Matter Facts That Will Surprise You

12 October 2025 at 13:38

Dark matter is one of the biggest mysteries of modern science, because we can’t see it, touch it or feel it with our current instruments, and yet, we know it’s there because we can see how it affects galaxies, and its presence is felt through its gravity. Light bends around it as it travels across […]

Uh-oh, the International Space Station is leaking again

21 May 2026 at 17:07

NASA confirmed Thursday that the Russian segment of the International Space Station has begun leaking atmosphere into space again. It's an old problem that NASA recently hoped was resolved.

For more than half a decade, engineers from Roscosmos and NASA have been tracking the leak rate from a small Russian module attached to the space station that leads to a docking port. The source of these leaks, microscopic structural cracks, have been difficult to find and address.

In January, NASA said that after multiple inspections and sealant applications, the pressure inside this segment, known as the PrK module, had reached a "stable configuration." The PrK module is essentially a transfer tunnel attached to the Zvezda Service Module on the Russian segment of the space station.

Russia's plan to advertise on rockets and spacecraft takes off

20 May 2026 at 15:28

It's difficult to know the true state of the Russian economy, both because the country's financial reporting is sparse and because official figures are unreliable. But things probably aren't great.

This week, Sweden's minister of foreign affairs, Maria Malmer Stenergard, shared her country's assessment that the Russian economy has likely contracted over the last five years amid the war in Ukraine. Inflation is also high, and international sanctions have cost Russia $450 billion since the onset of the war in February 2022. Russia's economy is currently smaller than that of Texas, Stenergard said.

By most measures, then, the economy is not in tip-top shape. Moreover, the war is draining a large amount of the country's financial resources, with defense spending reaching a post-Soviet record of about 7 percent of government spending.

Intel makes a bid for handheld gaming PCs with new Arc G3 processors

28 May 2026 at 18:10

Most of the Steam Deck imitators on the market right now use AMD silicon, specifically the Ryzen Z-series chips. These are the same chips AMD makes for regular laptops, but with different power settings better suited to a compact handheld system. There are handhelds based on Intel silicon (MSI’s Claw is the main one), but Intel hasn’t yet tried making silicon marketed specifically for that purpose.

Today, the company is throwing its hat in the ring with two Intel Arc G-series processors, which will allow gaming handhelds to leverage the company's genuinely quite good Arc B-series integrated GPUs. Intel says that several Arc G-series handhelds will arrive "starting in June 2026, with broader availability throughout the year." These systems will include a new MSI Claw model, a Predator Atlas 8 from Acer, and a device from OneXPlayer.

Intel normally uses its "Arc" branding for integrated and dedicated GPUs, but in this case, the "Arc" brand encompasses the entire chip, including the CPU, GPU, NPU, and other components.
