DeepSeek-Prover-V2 is an AI model that enhances mathematical reasoning by breaking problems into subgoals, generating proofs, and excelling in benchmarks, potentially revolutionizing math research and AI advancements.
Sonair will introduce ADAR, a 360-degree 3D acoustic sensor for autonomous robots, at Automate 2025, offering improved safety in shared workspaces through beamforming technology, with safety certification and shipping expected by...
Imagine a world without zero. It may sound absurd, but for millennia, civilizations thrived without this fundamental concept. The journey of zero from taboo to cornerstone of mathematics is a tale of human ingenuity and...
Chinese researchers confirmed the existence of smooth framed manifolds with Kervaire invariant one in dimension 126, resolving the last open case and proving these unique shapes occur only in dimensions 2, 6, 14, 30, 62, and 126.
Chinese researchers at Peking University have developed a revolutionary silicon-free transistor using bismuth oxyselenide. The gate-all-around design offers 40% faster speeds and 10% lower power consumption than Intel's 3nm...
Carbon nanotubes can emit higher-energy light than they absorb, a phenomenon called up-conversion photoluminescence. RIKEN researchers discovered this occurs efficiently even in pristine nanotubes, not just those with defects....

Researchers successfully factored RSA-2048 integers using a D-Wave quantum annealer, transforming the problem into a combinatorial optimization task. This marks the first factorization of RSA-2048 using D-Wave, surpassing...
Ocean storms near Greenland and Newfoundland generate seismic waves strong enough to travel through Earth's core, offering a new way to study planetary interiors. This method could help explore planets without earthquakes or...
Scientists made progress in detecting dark matter with the MADMAX experiment, using sapphire discs and mirrors to amplify potential dark photon signals. Although no dark photons were detected, the prototype achieved high...
Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory discovered "backflow saturation," a phenomenon affecting electron flow in plasma that challenges the space charge effect assumption. This occurs when emitted electrons reverse...
Vast, a US space company, is considering Indian rockets for crew transport to its commercial space station, launching in 2026. CEO Max Haot met with ISRO to discuss collaborations. The Haven-1 module, featuring sleeping quarters...
Intel introduced the groundbreaking 386 processor in 1985, featuring a 32-bit architecture and 16-byte instruction prefetch queue. The prefetch queue fetches instructions from memory before needed, improving performance by...
Recent research proposes alternative models for black holes that could eliminate the concept of singularities. Scientists are exploring "regular black holes" with finite-density cores and "black hole mimickers" that lack event...
Ontario Power Generation will build four BWRX-300 Small Modular Reactors at Darlington, producing 1200 MW of clean electricity for 1.2 million homes, aiming to secure energy supply and reduce emissions while promoting global SMR...
Scientists have created 3D superconducting nanostructures using a nano 3D printing technique. These structures can be switched on and off by rotating them in a magnetic field, allowing local control of superconductivity at the...
A rare genetic mutation allows some individuals to thrive on just four hours of sleep per night. Scientists identified the SIK3-N783Y mutation, which was confirmed in mice studies to reduce sleep duration. This discovery adds to...
GLE has started TRL-6 testing of its SILEX uranium enrichment process in North Carolina, advancing third-generation capabilities for US nuclear fuel production and aiming to optimize the system for commercial deployment.
A new computational analysis of over 600 languages confirms Franz Boas's 1884 observation about Inuit words for snow. The study reveals patterns of "lexical elaboration" across cultures, showing how languages emphasize concepts...
Two European spacecraft successfully performed a groundbreaking solar eclipse maneuver in orbit. The ESA's Proba-3 mission aligned two spacecraft 150 meters apart with millimeter precision, allowing the Coronagraph to study the...
Solar activity is approaching its peak in the current 11-year cycle, producing spectacular auroras visible as far south as Florida. While recent months have seen a slight slowdown in sunspots, scientists are unsure if solar...
