Exactly 200 years ago, a French engineer introduced an idea that would quantify the universe’s inexorable slide into decay.

To make progress on one of number theory’s most elementary questions, two mathematicians turned to an unlikely source.

Researchers got a better look at chatbots’ thoughts, amateurs learned just how complicated simple systems can be, and codes became expert self-fixers.

Biologists used artificial intelligence to make discoveries about molecules and the brain, and overturned long-held assumptions about the immune system and RNA.

Landmark results in geometry and number theory marked an exciting year for mathematics, at a time when advances in artificial intelligence are starting to transform the subject’s future.

In a first, researchers have shown that adding more “qubits” to a quantum computer can make it more resilient. It’s an essential step on the long road to practical applications.

Three researchers have figured out how to craft a proof that spreads out information while keeping it perfectly secret.
