Connor Hill won the 2026 Regeneron Science Talent Search after using a computer program to solve a long-standing geometry problem. His proof identified exactly 146 isolated noble polyhedra, settling a ...

Scientists used a new error correction method to encode 70 logical qubits and solve a problem that is intractable for classical computers. The quantum computation ...

Netflix's sci-fi masterpiece, The 3 Body Problem, is poised to debut Season 2 later this year on the streamer.

Three-member IIIT-Bangalore team secures qualification for the ICPC World Finals 2026, set to take place in Dubai from November 15 to 20, marking the institute's third global appearance.

A quantum problem once described as impossible for classical computers has now been solved using relatively modest hardware. Researchers used tensor networks to compress the overwhelming wave function ...

A conversation with author Anne Morriss on why the slow and steady approach can leave issues unresolved. When it comes to solving complex, layered problems, the default for many organizational leaders ...

The bees had to roll the ball under a blue "flower," then stand atop the moved object to access a sweet treat. Mikko Törmänen / University of Oulu Some bumblebees can spontaneously solve problems, a ...

German psychologist Wolfgang Köhler set up a famous experiment more than 100 years ago that changed how scientists understand animal intelligence and the power of insight — or spontaneous ...

In a new study, bumble bees solve a completely novel object-manipulation task. What makes this behavior especially remarkable is that the bees had never been trained. The findings challenge the ...

Bumblebees faced with a challenge know how to play ball. Buff-tailed bumblebees can figure out on their own how to use a ball as a ladder to nab sugar from an out-of-reach fake flower, researchers ...

Despite having tiny brains, bumblebees have demonstrated a remarkable ability to socially learn how to use tools, solve simple puzzles, and cooperate to achieve a goal. It seems they can also solve ...

“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 ...
