Humans beat AI at international math contest despite gold-level AI scores
Humans beat generative AI models made by Google and OpenAI at a top international mathematics competition, despite the programs reaching gold-level scores for the first time.
Neither model scored full marks—unlike five young people at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), a prestigious annual competition where participants must be under 20 years old.
Google said Monday that an advanced version of its Gemini chatbot had solved five out of the six math problems set at the IMO, held in Australia’s Queensland this month.
No wires needed: German physicists control electronics with light pulses
Scientists control atomically thin semiconductors using ultrashort pulses of terahertz light.
Discover how ultrashort terahertz light pulses can control semiconductors, leading to faster electronic components.
In a first, transmon qubit achieves a coherence time of one millisecond
A team of researchers in Finland has set a new world record for how long a quantum bit, known as a qubit, can hold onto its information.
They have pushed the coherence time of a superconducting transmon qubit to a full millisecond at best, with a median time of half a millisecond. That might sound brief, but in the world of quantum computing, it’s a massive improvement that could change the game.
Longer coherence times mean qubits can run more operations and quantum computers can perform more calculations before errors start to appear.
Next-Generation Proteomics of Brain Extracellular Vesicles in Schizophrenia Provide New Clues on the Altered Molecular Connectome
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny membranous structures that mediate intercellular communication. The role(s) of these vesicles have been widely investigated in the context of neurological diseases; however, their potential implications in the neuropathology subjacent to human psychiatric disorders remain mostly unknown. Here, by using next-generation discovery-driven proteomics, we investigate the potential role(s) of brain EVs (bEVs) in schizophrenia (SZ) by analyzing these vesicles from the three post-mortem anatomical brain regions: the prefrontal cortex (PFC), hippocampus (HC), and caudate (CAU). The results obtained indicate that bEVs from SZ-affected brains contain region-specific proteins that are associated with abnormal GABAergic and glutamatergic transmission.

Rewriting Physics Textbooks: Scientists Propose a Bold New Theory About the Universe’s Origins
A team of researchers, led by Raúl Jiménez, an ICREA scientist at the University of Barcelona’s Institute of Cosmos Sciences (ICCUB), and working in partnership with the University of Padua (Italy), has introduced a groundbreaking new theory about how the Universe began.
Published in Physical Review Research, their study offers a major shift in how scientists understand the earliest moments following the Big Bang.
The Big Bang is the leading cosmological model explaining how the universe as we know it began approximately 13.8 billion years ago.
