Mathematica creator Stephen Wolfram has spent nearly 50 years arguing that simple computational rules underlie everything from animal patterns to the laws of physics. In his 2023 TED talk, he makes ...

Denise Garcia knows that her students sometimes cheat, but the situation she unearthed in February seemed different. A math teacher in West Hartford, Connecticut, Garcia had accidentally included an ...

Marvin Minsky famously said that the brain is not one computer, but several hundred computers working in tandem. If that's true, ChatGPT's cognitive power just got a boost with the creation of a ...

If you've been on the internet for a while, you might know Wolfram Alpha as the website where you chuck your calculus homework to get answers in a jiffy. At the time, it already felt like a cheat code ...

Electronics takes a lot of math. Once you’ve mastered all the algebra and calculus, though, it is sometimes a drag to go through the motions. It also can be error-prone. But these days, you have ...

Stephen Wolfram blames himself for not changing the face of physics sooner. At its heart, Wolfram’s new approach is a computational picture of the cosmos—one where the fundamental rules that the ...

Stephen Wolfram, inventor of the Wolfram computational language and the Mathematica software, announced that he may have found a path to the holy grail of physics: A fundamental theory of everything.

The novel coronavirus has derailed everyday existence for all of us, forcing us to make difficult choices. But a few weeks ago, Stephen Wolfram’s dilemma was unique. What should you do, he wondered, ...

Silicon Valley is full of imperial visionaries whose mission is to take down Google, which now controls about 64 percent of the search market worldwide. They range from Microsoft to newcomers like ...

Thanks to Kevin Bacon, everybody nowadays knows about networks. There are not only Bacon-like networks of actors, linked by appearing in the same film, but also social networks, neural networks and ...

Stephen Wolfram is a cult figure in programming and mathematics. He is the brains behind Wolfram Alpha, a website that tries to answer questions by using algorithms to sift through a massive database ...
