Perimeter launches physics-driven AI initiative with researcher recruitment and exchanges https://happenedinai.com/story/science-perimeter-physics-driven-ai-initiative/ https://happenedinai.com/story/science-perimeter-physics-driven-ai-initiative/ Wed, 21 Oct 2026 23:03:41 GMT News Science Perimeter Institute announced PhysDAI on 19 October, organising postdoctoral hiring, visiting researchers and new faculty positions; it is an institutional programme, not a research result. Two weeks after OpenAI's 722 math papers, mathematicians are checking the biggest claims https://happenedinai.com/story/science-openai-math-proofs-under-review/ https://happenedinai.com/story/science-openai-math-proofs-under-review/ Wed, 21 Oct 2026 22:11:00 GMT News Science Mathematicians are checking AI-generated proofs OpenAI released on 6 October. Quanta reports broad support for a quasi-Riemann result, but most of the papers have not been reviewed and some were withdrawn. Machine-learning correction improves two-to-six-week weather forecasts in Nature study https://happenedinai.com/story/science-ai-subseasonal-weather-forecasts/ https://happenedinai.com/story/science-ai-subseasonal-weather-forecasts/ Wed, 21 Oct 2026 22:06:00 GMT Research watch Science A Nature paper reports that a machine-learning method that corrects systematic errors in ECMWF forecasts improves skill two to six weeks ahead, where forecasts are weakest. Skill at that range remains modest even after correction. AI-designed enzymes cut chosen protein targets, including ones linked to Alzheimer's and ALS, in lab tests https://happenedinai.com/story/science-ai-designed-proteases-nature/ https://happenedinai.com/story/science-ai-designed-proteases-nature/ Wed, 21 Oct 2026 22:05:00 GMT Research watch Science Two Nature papers from the Institute for Protein Design report proteases designed from scratch with AI that cut chosen sites in target proteins. Most designs were far weaker than natural enzymes, and none has been tested as a treatment. AI for science: telling a new capability from a promising demo https://happenedinai.com/story/ai-for-science-reading-the-claims/ https://happenedinai.com/story/ai-for-science-reading-the-claims/ Wed, 21 Oct 2026 11:00:00 GMT Explainer Science AI has produced real scientific advances, such as protein structure prediction, and many announcements that have not yet been tested, so the useful question is what has been independently confirmed.
