AI Proved the Quasi-Riemann Hypothesis. What Happens Now?
Unlike other recent AI proofs, this one has been unpacked by human experts. The implications, one mathematician said, are “staggering.” The post AI Proved the Quasi-Riemann Hypothesis. What Happens Now? first appeared on Quanta Magazine
Lone, starless cloud may be a 'dark' galaxy
Astronomers using China's FAST radio telescope have discovered a compact cloud of hydrogen with no visible stars or galaxy around it. This could be one of the strongest candidates yet for an isolated "dark galaxy," containing nearly 500,000 times the sun's mass in neutral hydrogen. The discovery paper was posted to the arXiv preprint server on Sept. 24.

Physicists create a bizarre new quantum state called a fractional fermi sea
Physicists have discovered a strange new state of quantum matter in which ultracold atoms defy familiar organizational rules, forming a highly excited yet surprisingly orderly configuration called a "fractional Fermi sea." The discovery challenges established quantum theories and hints at exotic quasiparticles that scientists have dubbed potential "super-Fermions."

A distant supercluster of galaxies points to self-interacting dark matter
Seven billion light-years from Earth, there is an unexpected cluster of galaxies. It has two regions in the process of colliding with each other with a combined mass of more than two quadrillion solar masses. Given its mass, the distant cluster has been nicknamed El Gordo, the Fat One. What makes it unusual is that it's extraordinarily large for that period of the universe. How did such a large s…
Tesla Unveils 'Flying' Roadster with SpaceX Thrusters
Tesla's new Roadster features SpaceX thrusters designed to give it the ability to fly in short bursts. The vehicle was unveiled at a SpaceX facility in Texas... we live in the future.
