Lateral thinking involves solving problems through indirect and creative approaches, often by viewing the problem in a new ...

Do Illinois high schoolers have what it takes to solve real-world problems? A group of students had months to research food system issues and find a solution as part of Northern Illinois University’s ...

Abstract: In this letter, the multiple-measurement-vectors (MMV) compressive sensing (CS) model is presented to accelerate the singular value decomposition (SVD)-based characteristic basis function ...

One idle evening last October, Mehtaab Sawhney took up an old pastime. He began perusing the website erdosproblems.com, an updated record of the 1,179 conjectures left behind by the eccentric and ...

When my cofounder and I were accepted into a competitive startup accelerator program in fall 2025, we applied with an ambitious idea: to build an “AI scientist” for machine learning research. What ...

Steven Bouma-Prediger seldom sees students walking between classes without their faces buried in their smartphones. This distraction transfers into the classroom, where Bouma-Prediger takes matters ...

While AI programs are excellent at summarizing existing knowledge or finding patterns in data, the models struggled to solve the problems in a single attempt. The researchers' overall conclusion is ...

Do you stare at a math word problem and feel completely stuck? You're not alone. These problems mix reading comprehension with complex math concepts, making them a common hurdle for students. The good ...

Abstract: Unlike the conventional differential drive method, which struggles to maintain both position and orientation at the same time, this study surveyed an omnidirectional movement system based on ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...
