It's a major accomplishment, but the news has been marred by a debate over whether the company acted based on unpublished research from other parties. Additionally, OpenAI has been accused of attempting to influence who will receive credit for the achievement in publication.

The Navier-Stokes problem

First, some background. The Millennium Prize Problems are a group of seven complex questions established by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000. The organization is offering a reward of $1 million for solutions to each of these questions, all of which have stymied mathematicians for decades, if not centuries. Since the prize's creation, only one of the other problems from the collection had previously been solved.

Tiny drone borrows unexpected feature from nature

Thanks to their highly sensitive whiskers, which enable them to detect objects within reach before they get too close, rats and mice can hardly relate to the pain of a stubbed toe, despite having eight more toes than humans. This sensory organ lets rats scurry through buildings, sewers, burrows, and
