OpenAI reports 722 mathematical discoveries in a single batch

OpenAI has announced 722 mathematical discoveries produced in one go, the latest sign of AI systems being pushed into original research rather than routine computation. The results still need scrutiny from mathematicians, since the value of a large batch of claims depends on whether they are new, correct and meaningful. If they hold up, it would suggest AI can contribute to mathematical discovery at a scale and pace humans cannot match.

Pandemic preparedness requires more than strong science

A Nature analysis argues that sound, strong science alone is not enough to prepare for pandemics. It says political, social, and implementation factors must also be addressed to turn research into real-world protection. The issue matters because future outbreaks depend on public trust, coordinated policy, and effective health systems, not just scientific advances.

Can the brain grow new neurons? Researchers tackle century-old puzzle

Nature examines how scientists are working to resolve a long-running debate over whether the adult human brain can produce new neurons. The question, contested for about a century, matters because adult neurogenesis could shape how we understand memory, learning, aging and brain repair. Researchers are now applying modern tools to settle whether the process occurs in humans and how it might be harnessed.
