The tech giant says a breakthrough in data center networking has dramatically accelerated the flow of information through its massive cloud infrastructure. The new technology hinges on a “quasi-random ...

OpenAI claims its new reasoning model has produced an original mathematical proof disproving a famous unsolved conjecture in geometry, which was first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. If this sounds ...

Online sexism is often dismissed as random — just a few bad comments or offensive jokes. But what appears scattered and spontaneous is increasingly structured, repeated and amplified in ways that make ...
