Artificial intelligence can solve problems at remarkable speed, but it's the people developing the algorithms who are truly driving discovery.

Every human society faces a common challenge: to develop the best possible mix of tools that can help them solve problems. But tools, ranging from simple hunting and cooking implements to technology ...

Dr. Wang, who also serves as the founding director for research in the Division of Data Science, is leading efforts to create AI models that can analyze complex biomedical data. In simple terms, CyTOF ...

Mehmet Aktas From viral videos to debates over new products, ideas move faster than ever in today’s digital age. Mehmet Aktas, an associate professor of data science and analytics, is leading National ...

Prime numbers are sometimes called math’s “atoms” because they can be divided by only themselves and 1. For two millennia, mathematicians have wondered if the prime numbers are truly random, or if ...

In a new paper in Science Advances, SFI External Professor Marcus Hamilton and colleagues present a new model showing the tradeoffs between the cost and utility of new tools in small-scale societies.

Short-term memory is finite and fills up quickly. Here are 7 ways we can free up space for clearer-headed mathematical thinking.

Inside every lithium-ion battery, there’s a tiny dance going on. When you use your device, lithium ions migrate from the electrolyte and insert themselves into the solid electrode, a process known as ...

At the heart of all lithium-ion batteries is a simple reaction: Lithium ions dissolved in an electrolyte solution "intercalate" or insert themselves into a solid electrode during battery discharge.

Lithium intercalation is the process by which lithium ions insert themselves into the solid electrode of a lithium-ion battery. MIT researchers have shown that as lithium ions (green) move from an ...

Meta has released Code World Model (CWM), a 32-billion-parameter AI model for researchers that simulates code execution to understand its logic, not just its syntax.
