Sandia-Led AI Project Targets Uncertainty in Turbulent Flow Models

A Sandia-led project within the Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission will combine physics-constrained AI, large-scale simulation and Bayesian methods to quantify uncertainty in turbulent-flow predictions. Researchers led by Sandia National Laboratories are developing a physics-constrained artificial intelligence foundation model for…

Inside Famous Problems & Conjectures

Millennium Prize Problems The Clay Mathematics Institute's seven Millennium Prize Problems and the claims to solve them, from Navier-Stokes and the Riemann hypothesis to Yang-Mills and P versus NP.
The Riemann Hypothesis The Riemann hypothesis and the zeta function: new bounds on its zeros, claimed proofs, and explainers of the most famous open problem about the primes.
Navier-Stokes & Fluid Equations The Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem and the equations of fluid flow: blow-up and singularities, the 2026 claims and the debate over them, turbulence mathematics.
Conjectures Proved Long-standing conjectures newly proved or disproved: the Jacobian conjecture, Gauss's riddles and other decades-old problems settled by mathematicians.
