Discovery

Good morning, { AI enthusiasts }. OpenAI's GPT-5.2 just discovered that a widely accepted answer in particle physics was improper, proposed the right one, and autonomously wrote the formal proof in 12 hours.The "can...

Q. You’re known for collaborating with colleagues across MIT, and at other institutions....

The grand prize can be a room-temperature superconductor, a cloth that might transform computing and electricity but that has eluded scientists for many years. Periodic Labs, like Lila Sciences, has...

MIT Department of Mathematics researchers David Roe ’06 and Andrew Sutherland ’90,...

Good morning, AI enthusiasts. AI is already being integrated into laboratories across scientific fields… But what happens when a team of agents runs its own lab entirely? Stanford’s virtual AI lab is doing just...

constructing with AI, complexity adds up — there’s more uncertainty, more unknowns, and more moving parts across teams, tools, and expectations. That’s why having a solid discovery process is much more vital than when you're...

Several researchers have taken a broad view of scientific progress during the...

Scientific research has traditionally been a slow and careful process. Scientists spend years testing ideas and doing experiments. They read 1000's of papers and check out to attach different pieces of information. This approach...
