Scientists identified the submerged remnants of Gondwana and reconstructed its contours using data from over 25,000 rocks to confirm it was a supercontinent linked to the Cambrian explosion of complex life. Gondwana made up roughly 80 percent of Earth’s landmass between 550 and 500 million years ago. The new global crustal map and isotope evidence tie deep-Earth tectonic processes to the timing of early animal diversification and will be refined with a larger rock database to improve reconstructions.
OpenAI announced it solved a Millennium Prize mathematics problem, sparking debate over how the work was pursued before formal release. The company’s announcement came on Tuesday. As a result, academia is disputing whether the effort involved scooping or spying, even as AI is increasingly credited with accelerating mathematical progress.
Curie launched as an AI research assistant for scientific literature and document analysis.
It is listed as version 5.0.
It searches multiple scientific indexes and verifies claims against source text while extracting structured data and supporting systematic review workflows with approval at each step.
OpenAI announced that it found an AI-generated solution to the 200-year-old Navier-Stokes equation, sparking academic controversy over whether it rushed after learning of related work by mathematicians Tristan Buckmaster and Levent Alpöge. OpenAI said it trained a new advanced model starting August 28 and used over 1,000 agents for more than 50 hours, eventually reaching as many as 10,000 agents, with computing costs in the millions of dollars. The dispute changes the focus from the claimed proof—Lean-formalized and complete—to allegations about access to researchers’ prior work and credit, with OpenAI denying it saw their material before it went public and noting de-identified data could have indirectly helped.
