Collaborative, creative, and fast-paced, WildHacks is Northwestern’s largest hackathon. The annual coding-based competition is designed for all students to learn and broaden their programming skills.

Have you ever imagined the solution to a logic problem instead of calculating it? Such “thought experiments” are carried out using one’s imagination rather than doing actual research. Typically ...

Amateurs Solve a Famous Computer Science Problem On Discord A team of amateurs recently came together in an online collaboration called the Busy Beaver Challenge to pin down the value of BB (5), the ...

The artificial intelligence start-up said the new system, OpenAI o3, outperformed leading A.I. technologies on tests that rate skills in math, science, coding and logic. By Cade Metz Reporting from ...

When the Clay Mathematics Institute put individual $1-million prize bounties on seven unsolved mathematical problems, they may have undervalued one entry—by a lot. If mathematicians were to resolve, ...

When my cofounder and I were accepted into a competitive startup accelerator program in fall 2025, we applied with an ambitious idea: to build an “AI scientist” for machine learning research. What ...

Could the same computer algorithms that teach autonomous cars to drive safely help identify nearby asteroids or discover life in the universe? NASA scientists are trying to figure that out by ...

Conducting research is hard; confirming the results is, too. And artificial intelligence isn’t yet ready to help, a major new ...

Winter means a lot of indoor time, and I've learned that science experiments are a lifesaver on those long, cold days. The best part? You don't need anything fancy. Baking soda, vinegar, food ...
