An Anthropic study of 207,000 scientific AI sessions finds that researchers predominantly use language models for data analysis and writing, rather than generating hypotheses. Mathematics and computer science show particularly high adoption. The findings suggest a substantial gap between AI’s present uses and its scientific ambitions ...Read more

After four decades of searching, CERN’s LHCb experiment has found evidence of an exceptionally rare particle decay, predicted to occur once in ten billion events. The result, statistically significant at 3.2 sigma, agrees with the Standard Model but requires further confirmation ...Read more

OpenAI reports progress in using frontier models to design mechanical components, electronic circuits, and manufactured devices. A prototype incorporating AI-generated mechanical and electrical designs was manufactured, although production required human corrections. Industrial collaborations are exploring applications in automotive engineering and manufacturing ...Read more
