Black market in science: how fake papers, studies, and citations are sold
11+ mon, 1+ week ago (825+ words) Math has a publishing problem that is easy to miss if you only look at citation counts and journal labels. A new analysis shows how shortcuts, paper mills, and pay to publish outlets have shaped where math papers appear and…...
Ancient scrolls decoded by artificial intelligence
11+ mon, 2+ day ago (763+ words) Three students have achieved what seemed impossible for centuries. Using artificial intelligence, they successfully deciphered ancient Roman scrolls that were carbonized by Mount Vesuvius’ devastating eruption in 79 A.D. When the volcano erupted nearly two millennia ago, it didn’t just preserve…...
Robots that think without electricity
1+ week, 17+ hour ago (690+ words) In 1959, engineers at a U.S. Army laboratory built a device that amplified and routed signals using nothing but jets of air. More than six decades later, that half-forgotten technology is driving a quiet revolution in robotics. A team at King’s College…...
Why your brain might mistake a robot’s hand for your own
11+ mon, 4+ week ago (791+ words) In a lab in Genoa, Italy, volunteers teamed up with iCub, a child-sized humanoid robot, to slice a bar of soap using a steel wire. The task itself was simple. What surprised researchers was what happened afterward: the participants’ brains…...
Scientists develop AI that designs molecules ten times faster
7+ mon, 2+ week ago (809+ words) Instead of waiting years for lucky breaks, researchers are turning to machines to sketch out entirely new potential chemical molecules on demand. That change matters now because faster, more directed discovery can cut waste, lower costs, and move useful medicines…...
Fake scientific references are spreading through medical research
4+ mon, 3+ day ago (922+ words) Medical science depends on something simple but powerful: trust. Every research paper builds on earlier work. Every guideline rests on layers of evidence. Doctors, researchers, and patients all assume that those layers are real. A new large-scale audit shows that…...
This geometric puzzle has intrigued mathematicians for 300 years
8+ mon, 3+ week ago (732+ words) Take two identical cubes and ask whether one can pass straight through a tunnel drilled in the other. Now extend that question to every well-behaved solid you can build from flat surfaces. What’s your answer? In 2025, Jakob Steininger and Sergey…...
Quantum advantage cuts learning task time from 20 million years to 15 minutes
11+ mon, 1+ week ago (805+ words) Quantum advantage just moved from promise to a measured result – not in a computer chip, but in beams of light. In a new study, the team used entangled light to learn the noise in a complex system with far fewer…...
The number that took mathematicians 32 years to find
8+ mon, 3+ week ago (985+ words) Mathematicians have finally pinned down the ninth Dedekind number, a 42 digit integer that had been taunting them since 1991. It counts a very specific kind of logical rule, and getting that count required months on a custom supercomputer in Germany. Researchers…...
Atom-thin carbon loop exposes quantum recall of past states
7+ mon, 1+ week ago (758+ words) Researchers have tracked a looping fractional charge in ultrathin carbon and seen it return with a consistent interference rhythm. The result strengthens the case for quantum particles whose collective state can retain a record of earlier exchanges. That rhythmic signal…...
