Scientists observe bumblebees rolling a ball underneath a flower to get sugar, showing complex problem-solving abilities.

Group work and giving students time to discuss their work helps to build their confidence in using math in science lessons, a new study shows. Researchers have found that discussion is important ...

In 2024, Olli Loukola of the Finland co-authored a study demonstrating that bumblebees could cooperate to solve complex ...

A new study describes how machine learning tools, run on classical computers, can be used to make predictions about quantum systems and thus help researchers solve some of the trickiest physics and ...

Harvard College Dean of Science Jeff W. Lichtman wants to reshape how undergraduates are solving problems. Lichtman — who was appointed as Dean of Science in July — said in an interview with The ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...

Erik Hoel opens his recent book, The World Behind the World: Consciousness, Free Will, and the Limits of Science 1, with a review of “humanity’s two perspectives on the world.” I learned of Hoel’s ...

Want to really promote science to kids so they keep that interest? Give them problems to develop solutions for. For instance, some people still like to read physical books (I’m one of them). Sometimes ...

A solution to P vs NP could unlock countless computational problems—or keep them forever out of reach. 1. On Monday, July 19, 2021, in the middle of another strange pandemic summer, a leading computer ...
