A pulsar’s changing radio arcs reveal how tiny, invisible plasma structures reshape signals crossing the Milky Way.
The AI That Imagines the Board Before It Makes Its Next Move
An AI agent imagines what a move will look like before acting, helping it compare plans and avoid dead ends in simulated tasks.
A Young Galaxy May Have Built Stars Before Feedback Caught Up
JWST’s view of UNCOVER 3686 suggests an early galaxy formed stars with unusually high efficiency before stellar feedback fully took hold.
A Blue Edge Around 3I/ATLAS Hints at Fleeting Icy Grains
A faint blue shift in 3I/ATLAS’s outer coma may reveal short-lived icy grains—and a hidden phase in an interstellar comet’s journey.
How a Robot Finds the Hidden Physics Behind an Ordinary Push
A robot’s world model learns hidden friction, mass and rules from a few interactions, helping it predict what actions will do.
Inside the 60,000-Line Proof of an Eight-Dimensional Packing
A formal proof of the eight-dimensional sphere-packing theorem reveals the hidden work—and limits—behind machine-checked mathematics.
The Hidden Size of a Quantum World May Explain Entropy’s Arrow
Two quantum studies explore how entropy’s arrow can emerge from vast macrostates, pure states, and limits on what counts as a physical operation.
The Number Rule That Hides Inside a Nonrepeating Mosaic
Aperiodic tiles can carry exact arithmetic: hidden lattice addresses and scaling rules reveal order without repetition.
The Hidden Map Inside a Language Model Has a Blind Spot
A hidden map can emerge inside a language model, but decoding places is not the same as mentally rotating a room or reasoning through space.
How Disconnected Fractal Dust Can Cast a Solid Shadow in Every Direction
A random fractal can be disconnected yet project to a gap-free interval in every direction, including shadows and distances from any point.
