'Predatory behavior': Elite mathematicians clash over OpenAI's 'solution' to million-dollar math problem

HEIDELBERG, Germany — Often considered the slowest, most methodical and most abstract of the sciences, mathematics usually advances so incrementally and esoterically that it rarely troubles the mainstream media. It was therefore with some discomfort that a panel of elite mathematicians took to the stage Sept. 15 here at the Heidelberg Laureate Forum, a conference that unites young researchers with award-winning mathematicians and computer scientists. The focus of the panel: to confront the rapid rise of AI, whose threat to their quiet discipline has thrust them into the limelight.In the past year alone, AI systems have made substantial contributions to the solutions of dozens of problems pos...

Scientists name a new cat species for the first time in over a century

For the first time in a century, scientists have identified a new cat species, thanks to genetic analysis — and it's resolved a long-standing debate about the cat family tree. The newly identified species, Leopardus tilcayo, is a type of tiger cat ‪—‬ a small, spotted wild cat ‪—‬ that lives in the Yungas cloud forest region of Bolivia. The analysis also revealed a subspecies of another tiger cat species, named Leopardus tigrinus antisuyo, which lives in Peru.Previously thought to be a northern tiger cat (Leopardus tigrinus), L. tilcayo split off from other Leopardus species 1.4 million years ago, the study found. This makes it the first novel living cat species to be discovered in over a ce...

Beautiful new cat species is first to be named in a century

The tilcayo (Leopardus tilcayo) in an animal refuge in La Paz, BoliviaPaola Nogales-Ascarrunz A new cat species has been scientifically described – the diminutive, spotted tilcayo from Bolivia. Several species of small cat in the Leopardus genus live in South America, including the ocelot, margay, kodkod, Geoffroy’s cat and the tiger cat or oncilla. The similar appearance of these nocturnal and hard-to-spot cats has made separating them into distinct species difficult. This is particularly true of tiger cats, which are about the size of a house cat, and are found in Costa Rica in Central America, and across a vast swathe of South America including Bolivia, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuado...

The September/October 2026 issue of the CERN Courier is out

TOPIC:Physics The September/October 2026 issue of the CERN Courier is out Written by: CERN Courier — 17 September, 2026 (Image: Grégory Millasseau/CERN) In his landmark 1945 report Science, the Endless Frontier, Vannevar Bush argued that basic research is the fund from which applications, and with them prosperity, are drawn. Eight decades on, the High-Luminosity LHC is expected to return to society nearly twice its cost, before a single discovery is counted. The largest share comes from the skills researchers take into the wider economy. Technological spillovers come close behind, as demanding contracts leave suppliers with new techniques and markets. The LHC demanded large-scale industrial ...

Upgrading the CMS muon chamber electronics

Ongoing upgrades on the road to HiLumi Upgrading the CMS muon chamber electronics Work on the CMS muon system upgrade is now underway, with teams starting to install the new electronic system for the Drift Tube (DT) chambers. By 2028, all the 250 muon chambers in the CMS barrel will be equipped with the new mini crates housing the electronic boards to read out and control the DT chambers These boards digitise signals from muons passing through the DT with nanosecond-level precision and transmit the information via high-speed optical links to the backend electronics. The new architecture will contribute to improve the performance of the CMS trigger system for the High-Luminosity LHC era, whic...

1,000-year-old 'snake amulet' featuring a Christian saint and 'Medusa' discovered in Russia

Archaeologists excavating a medieval settlement in northwestern Russia have unearthed an unusual 11th-century pendant that combines Christian and pagan imagery. It is the oldest amulet of its kind discovered in the region.The double-sided copper-alloy pendant was found during a summer excavation in Staraya Russa, a historic town between Moscow and St. Petersburg, according to a translated statement from Novgorod State University. One side depicts a Christian saint, while the other side has a Medusa-like figure. The artifact is known in Russian as a "snake amulet" or "serpentine pendant." Four other examples of this jewelry type are known from Christian sites in the area, but those have been ...

JWST’s mysterious little red dots may be black holes growing at incredible speeds

New supercomputer simulations suggest JWST’s puzzling Little Red Dots are rapidly growing black holes from the early Universe. Extreme radiation may have helped create unusually massive black hole seeds, while dense surrounding gas allowed them to grow dozens of times faster than black holes can today. The simulated objects closely resemble the Little Red Dots seen by Webb. If correct, they could solve the mystery of how enormous black holes formed so soon after the Big Bang.
