The closest the field has come to solving the planar unit distance problem, first proposed in the 1940s, was in 1984. Now, OpenAI claims an internal model has cracked the puzzle.

Bengaluru: If you are a mathematician, then you may want to take a seat before reading further—this is how Fields Medalist Timothy Gowers told the world about an OpenAI model having solved a problem ...

Quantum computers are supposed to revolutionize scientific computing, but researchers have recently shown that a classical computer can sometimes outperform them. Using advanced mathematical models, a ...
